Americana Community Garden: Another Great Volunteer Day

Another Great Volunteer Day

We picked up trash, cleaned up beds, tilled the earth, sowed cover crop seeds, spread straw and leaves, mulched paths between the beds.

The Americana Community Garden would like to thank

David Weigel, James Brown, Elliott Sternberg, Josh Drake, Lindsay Krebs, Kevin Goins, Evan Buch, Sean Daugherty, Ian Soucy, Colleen Stewart, Brian Ebenschwieger, Dennis Maury, Jordan Murphy, Alex Emery, Duncan Sebastian, Miller Kraps, Zach Baugher, and Nathan Morris for all their hard work. Some of the volunteers came representing the Middletown Christian Church, Trinity High School, and Phi Delta Theta at University of Louisville.

One of the rats that lives under our shed has passed.

OUR NEXT VOLUNTEER DAY WILL BE SATURDAY, DECEMBER 15TH!

About our garden

The Community Garden at Americana has been an essential part of programming since 2006. Growers from all over the world come together to grow food for their families and to share with their community. "It's the whole world in 1/5th of an acre."

Many of our growers come from places where subsistence gardening is a way of life. Green space & gardening had to be sacrificed when they left home, especially when relocating to urban areas, but now Americana can offer them the option of gardening on our grounds. The community garden is an important asset to our community as a neighborhood gathering place, a resource for families to obtaining healthy food, and an outdoor education facility for our youth.

The continued success of our garden program depends on our generous donors and volunteers. For more information on how you can assist the program and be a part of our garden, contact Abby Rudolph, Community Garden Coordinator, at 502-366-7813 or abby@americanacc.org.
