Something's growing at the YMCA


Have you seen the big pile of dirt and the enlarged garden space between the YMCA pool, the Preschool and Lindquist Park? Well, the YMCA Community Garden group has been hard at work getting the soil ready for planting. The new Children's Garden area is along the fence for the Preschool Playground.

The YMCA Community Garden is all about builidng a group of gardeners that enjoy working together on growing food for the needy in our area and also to educate children about growing things! The kids enrolled in our programs will be starting seeds and planting soon!

We have an enrichment camp early this summer for kids age 10-14 titled, "Junior Gardeners" during the week of June 7-11. The cost is $45 for YMCA Members and $65 got Community Members. Materials and instruction for the week are included. The time will be 4:15pm-6:00pm Monday through Friday. Registration begins April 17th.

Stay tuned for other Enrichment Camp themes!
