gethr to clear weeds, build
raised planting beds, and
expand a vegetable patch.
Volunteers also began
work to create a "Wetland
Education Trail."
"It's about providing a
recreation aspect to the
park," Ziegler said.
Katie Wolt, from the
WSU extension office, said
that the Master Gardeners
have worked with the com-
munity to create the gar-
den.
"Master Gardeners edu-
cate the community about
sound gardening practices
and conservation," she
said.
The gardeners, together
with volunteers, have cre-
ated a 2,500 square foot
garden, which grows fresh
produce for the Saint's
Pantry Food Bank.
"It produces 60 - 100
pounds of food a week,"
Wolt said. "That sounds
like a lot but that's the
amount of food an average
family takes home every
week."
Scheduling the garden
work party on Martin Lu-
ther King Day wasn't an
accident, Wolt said. She
said that it gave people an
opportunity to serve their
community.
"The Washington con-
servation corps is here ...
they're required to do a
service project on Martin
Luther King day," she said.
"It's a day on, not a day off."
Wolt said that one of the
tasks Monday was to put
in several 8x4 foot beds for
raised gardens. She said
community members can
rent the beds for $10 a year.
To sign up to rent one of
the garden's raised beds,
contact Katie Wolt at 427-
9670 ext 686 or Kathryn.
