Having been away for several months allows me to see the beauty of this area again with fresh eyes. One of the most striking things I have noticed is the amazingly lush and attractive community garden in Eatonville. This is the garden's third year, and it is the picture of what a community garden should look like and do for the community. Its presence adds beauty to what once was a plain lot, it produces an abundance of fresh, organically grown produce for the local food bank to distribute, and it provides a place for locals to garden. The garden team planted every raised bed, expanded the in-ground bed, raised a beautiful flower garden, and improved the compost demo area. I am proud of the work done by this small group of dedicated gardeners. I invite you to stop by and enjoy the garden yourself. If you are interested in being a part of this endeavor, contact the Mountain Community Co-op, or e-mail mtcommunitgarden@gmail.com. Thank you to the gardeners of the community garden. You have worked hard to make a beautiful community project bloom and grow.
