The Greenville Trailside Garden has accomplished many improvements this year!
Last September, Habitat for Humanity Volunteers worked together with Health Dept Staff and Community Food Network Volunteers to build a shed and complete the fall clean up needed at the garden.
This spring volunteers from the Building Trades Class at the Montcalm Career Center worked to build a pavilion and add fencing to the Trailside Garden.
The pavilion is now available for Community Food Network volunteers to enjoy shade while working on garden activities and teaching gardening classes in the community. With the addition of this pavilion, rain collection barrels will make it easier to water the garden plots as rain water will run off the roof into the collection containers.
The fence is a deterrent against the deer and rabbits who enjoyed the garden in years past.
With 100% of the available garden plots rented out by local families and groups, this garden has GROWN very successfully feeding families, neighbors, and the community!
