Community garden goes to school

The Kewaunee Community Garden will have a new home this spring. Through a partnership between the Kewaunee School District and community members, gardeners will be planting and tending their plants at the Agricultural Grounds at the Kewaunee High School.  Ag Science Teacher Randy Charles says the efforts behind the new community garden were to have a more accessible location that was not on private property.  The previous site was on 2.5 acres of land on Baumeister Drive on Kewaunee’s south end.

 
He says the new location of similar size will offer many educational opportunities in the future and continue to encourage self-sustainability.

 
 


Charles adds that the tradition of sending surpluses from the Kewaunee Community Garden to area food pantries will continue. The new garden is expected to be ready for the planting season in late May or early June. You can find more information on the Kewaunee Community Garden guidelines and agreement form here.
