Community garden brings plentiful result Food and Shelter for Friends benefits from effort By Carol Cole-FroweThe agency's community garden reminds McKee of hearing her grandmother talk about her gardens when she was growing up.
"My grandmother always said they were poor, but they didn't know it because they always had enough to eat," she said. McKee said she finds a lot of FSFF clients find a sense of solace in the garden. Several clients help weed and maintain it. She said she is hopeful that some of the Cleveland County Master Gardeners who generously bring FSFF their extra vegetables might be coerced into teaching classes next spring to some of their clients about how to establish their own gardens. And McKee also said they plan to build a hoop house, which is "somewhere in between a cold frame and a greenhouse." They are looking for donations of about $1,000 to help build the structure and have an engineer who has volunteered to help build it. Carol Cole-Frowe 366-3538 ccole@normantranscript.com
