🌱 A Heartfelt Thank You! 🌱

We would like to extend a huge THANK YOU to the City of Ladysmith for the incredible work installing the beautiful new fencing around our Community Garden! 👏

Having the garden on city property next to the Rusk County Library makes this space even more special, and we are incredibly grateful for the City’s support in helping create a welcoming, safe, and beautiful place for our community to gather, grow, and learn together.

The new fence not only enhances the garden—it helps showcase what a wonderful community space this has become. We appreciate the continued investment in making Ladysmith such a beautiful place to call home. 💚

Please join us in thanking the City of Ladysmith for helping our Community Garden continue to grow! 🌼🌿

🌱 The garden is starting to come to life! 🌱

After finally getting a little bit of much-needed rain yesterday, today’s beautiful weather has us soaking in all the signs of the season. ☀️🌦️

It has been so exciting to see the Community Garden slowly filling in as plots are planted, seedlings take root, and everyone begins bringing their garden spaces to life. There’s something special about watching a community grow—one garden bed at a time.

If you’ve been thinking about joining us, there are still a couple garden spots available! Whether you’re an experienced gardener or trying something new, we’d love to have you grow alongside us this season. 🌼

Interested in reserving a plot? Reach out for more information before the remaining spots are gone!
