Earth Day Preparation at the Heritage Center
The “Three Musketeers” (Ken De Friesse, Bob Moran, and Kurt Raschi – all husband’s of active Redding Garden Club members) rebuilding the fence of the Seniors’ Garden located behind the Community Center. After the garden’s inception approximately 10 years ago, it was now in need of new fencing. Redding Garden Club, which has been maintaining and working the garden for and with seniors for the past four years, is financing the garden fence replacement.
This year there will be tomatoes, swiss chard, a variety of herbs and numerous flowers growing in the garden. The harvest is always distributed freely to senior citizens who stop by the Heritage Center. It’s always a joy for seniors to be part of a gardening experience and the “garden therapy” committee of the garden club is happy to accommodate.
