WEST VIRGINIA NEWS
from Eyewitness News Online Community garden grows more than just plants July 19, 2008 10:51 AM CHARLESTON, W.Va.
Carroll Terrace residents find that fresh tomatoes and peppers improve their diets and cut their food expenses. But they value the friendships that grow in their gardens even more than the blossoms and bulbs. Three years ago the West Virginia State University Extension Service designed the garden on the grounds of Carroll Terrace, a unit of the Charleston-Kanawha Housing Authority on Charleston's East End. Corporate and community supporters donated their time and materials, such as trellises and raised beds, to build the garden structure now called the Carroll Terrace Community Garden. Melissa Stewart, agricultural extension agent for West Virginia State University, helped start the garden project as a way to increase knowledge of horticulture. She says it's more than a program now, everyone is friends. |
