Greetings from West Paris!

Gardens behind the Agnes Gray building are being prepped to once again come alive in the spring. Barbara Murphy is kindly heading up this garden project. Volunteers have already cleaned out 10 raised beds of weeds and debris and removed the rotting wood frames. Grass has been removed from between the beds and the area filled in from adjacent beds. Before winter, there will be two new beds, approximately 4X15 feet, prepped for next spring. The project is being kept small for now to better ensure success in the early years. The intention is to grow vegetables in the garden that will be donated to the local food pantry for local West Paris residents. Other volunteers hope to tend to more flower gardens on the property in the future as well.
