We've made a lot of progress since the last blog update. Specifically, our collaborative efforts have grown. We are now working with not only the Food Bank of Northwest Indiana and GrowNWI, we are also working with the town of Merrillville. We've put a lot of work into finding funding sources and I'm hoping we'll get some more financial support soon.
In the meanwhile, our plans for the garden have changed a little bit. We've moved the location of our garden slightly. It's still on the same 10 acre plot, but it's closer to Colorado Street than was originally planned. In addition, we've added plans for an outdoor classroom and an outdoor science laboratory. My goal is to use this garden not only to grow food for the NWI community (dispensed via the Food Bank), but to educate people about nutrition, agriculture and nature, as a whole.
Some exciting things are happening!
