Harlowton, MT

It is for everyone and anyone. Come and help there is plenty to be doneand a list of needs is located at the garden. To participate means to share in the harvest and enjoy the fruits of your labor. It could simply be watering the plants, pulling weeds, mowing, weed whacking, or something more strenuous like helping to build a fence to protect the garden from the deer.

The garden is a place to grow a sense of community, expand our circle of friends, create better physical and mental health, reduce stress, and be a healthy example for our children, grandchildren, or great-grandchildren. The garden also provides nutritional benefits from the freshly grown organic vegetables.

On July 24, twenty-four youth from 10 months to 14 years of age arrived to paint the benches and stones that adorn the garden. Paintbrushes in had, each youth found that special rock to display their talents. Even some of the adults joined in the fun and allowed their creative juices to unfold before their very eyes.  It was a day of summertime fun for all involved.

We also have a summer series taking place at the garden on Thursday evenings from 7-8pm and all ages are welcome. See you at the garden! Contact Mandie Reed 632-4728 or Lea 632-4345 for more information.

This community never seems to slow down.  We just keep getting things done, and that impresses me.  The group who attended leadership plenty in the spring decided that rather than decide on one project together as a group, we should each give a little extra in our home, yards, where we work and around the other places that are important to us. 

 We are going to beautify Harlowton one good deed at a time and then, pay it forward.  The idea was so exciting, we could continue working on the projects we were passionate about and make those stronger and better.  The project is designed so that we all have something meaningful to contribute to make our community a better, more beautiful place to live.
