One of the founders was our own Ev Claussen. The members meet once a week and tend the gardens. Specific areas are assigned to each member, and planting is done according to plans drawn up in the winter by the club.
Jerry Laughlin made the presentation and he indicated that there is room in the organization for more volunteers.
Funding for the gardens comes from a number of sources, including our donation which we give as a thank you to our speakers.
