The Oconto Community Garden Project is currently in its 7th season and thanks to a number of helping hands, big and little, everything is looking great! This spring teachers and students from the Oconto Elementary and staff from UW-Extension helped prepare the garden for planting, and before the end of the school year it was planted, mainly by the third grade classes. In early summer, the community garden was tended by Mrs. Pinkart’s summer school class group. UW-Extension’s Summer Intern, John Kruse, also helped teach gardening-related lessons earlier in July. In addition to teaching children about the finer points of planting and tending a garden, during late June through early October, the project also serves as a source of fresh vegetables for NEWCAP’s food pantry. Portions of the harvest will also be donated to the Oconto Commission on Aging and to groups New View Industries clients who will visit the garden later this summer.
The community garden is located behind the elementary school
in Oconto. If you’re nearby, stop by for a visit. If you’re
not, you can see some recent pictures here.
