Community Garden in at Conway

Neighbors have put in the garden at Conway Rec Center, next to the tennis courts. Support for this garden is coming from a lot of directions - the police (who see it as a great crime deterrent), neighbors, scout troops, and the Parks Department.

The garden has been named "The Garden of Feed'em" and this year will be donating the vegetables to the local food shelf. In future years, the garden will be opened up for individual plots.

Plant donations have come from Bailey's Nursery and seeds were donated by the Minnesota Horticultural Society.
