Appreciate the shout out from Garden Clubs of America recognizing our upcoming work on The Museum of the Shenandoah Valley community gardens. We are thrilled to be a part of this important initiative.

“Wi******er-Clarke Garden Club

The Wi******er-Clarke Garden Club (WCGC) will be working with the Museum of the Shenandoah Valley (MSV) to establish, “Growing Together,” a project to upgrade the historic vegetable gardens at the MSV to feed neighbors in need, provide gardening access and education to children and enthusiasts, and embrace the horticultural traditions of the Shenandoah Valley.

The Museum of the Shenandoah Valley is located on a 214-acre site in Wi******er, Virginia, home to the founder of Wi******er. The vegetable gardens serve as a living gallery space that nourishes families, preserves cultural heritage, and provides hands-on learning. In 2025, 16-20 pounds of food were delivered weekly to the Congregational Community Action Project (CCAP), a local food shelf serving food insecure families. The gardens also serve 400-500 public school students annually through Plants and Seeds programming. The student populations served are economically and culturally diverse. Wi******er City Public Schools are 45.1% Hispanic and 58.8% economically disadvantaged.

Grant funds will support rebuilding deteriorating 30-year-old planting beds, adding vertical growing features, and creating a labyrinth-inspired garden for 2026. The garden will feature culturally relevant heritage crops, including regional peppers, fish peppers, and child-friendly produce, plus Native American traditions like the Three Sisters (corn, beans, squash) and ceremonial to***co, honoring the Valley's diverse agricultural history.

WCGC members will assist with weekly harvesting and food delivery to CCAP, work alongside MSV staff on garden maintenance, and help connect MSV with potential speakers for educational programming. Corporate partners Navy Federal Credit Union and Knauf Insulation will provide volunteer support, with local business Reading Landscaping performing the construction work. The project serves 232,000 annual MSV visitors while creating lasting infrastructure expected to last decades.”

🚨 ATTENTION SNOWSTORM SHOPPERS 🚨
Everyone else is out there panic‑buying milk and eggs… meanwhile you know the real survival gear is at the library. 📚😌
Wi******er is expecting snow to start Saturday and continue into Sunday, with temps dipping into the teens... aka: ✨ Prime “I’m-not-going-outside-for-at-least-7-business-days” weather ✨

So before the flakes start flying, come stock up on the essentials that ACTUALLY get you through being stuck indoors:
📚 Books that make time disappear
🎬 DVDs for when your WiFi decides it has “had enough”
📺 Full TV series for a responsible 12‑hour binge
👶 Kid stuff so your children don’t start climbing the walls like feral raccoons

Because we all know what happens on Day 2 of being snowed in:
-You start talking to the houseplants
-You suddenly decide you MUST bake something even though you panic‑bought nothing useful
-You stare out the window like a Victorian ghost

Avoid all of that. Load up at the library. Entertain yourself like a snowed‑in champion. ❄️💪 Stay-tuned for more Snowstorm Prep Tips from HRLS!
