This year will be the second year for Highland's public community gardens. It is open to any Highland resident or relative who wishes to plant a garden but might not have the space or sun. Exciting news for this year is the donation of a huge truckload full of compost that has been offered to enrich the soil. We already have a tractor to till it into the soil so now all we need is someone with a small dump truck or a way to move it to our garden - could that be you? Call Katheryn 248-887-4643 for more info. This garden is an outreach service that originally developed via the green team at Highland United Methodist Church. Some of the food grown in the garden is donated to Community Share (over at Apollo) and other outreach programs. Interest has grown as people realize this is a great way to stretch a tight budget, eat healthy and get the kids outside and more connected to the earth. You are invited to come stake out your family's plot and help get the land ready for May planting. Join us Saturday, April 18th, 9:00 am to help out. Just park in the church parking lot, 850 W. Livingston Road (next to Highland Elementary) and the garden is on the right, just past the parsonage as you turn into the church driveway. Bring gloves, garden tools, and your children. Mine helped move rocks last year (albiet as slowly as snails!)
