Food forest, victory gardens

There will be a Food Forest clean up at the  Hamilton/SOTA I site, TODAY at 6 p.m. 

• GROW La Crosse will lead
• Refreshments, light snacks, and gardening tools will be provided
• Please bring your own gloves (And family & friends)
  

You can sign-up to help and have fun here.

Remember, there is also a great food forest by the YMCA at West Avenue & Main Street. Fruit trees are loaded this year!

In addition, there are three southside Community Victory Gardens, maintained by volunteers, that have free produce for anyone who wants to pick a meal for their family. New volunteers are always welcome!

While things are winding down, most victory gardens still have greens, beans, tomatoes, cukes, and squash. Some have more, including broccoli and herbs. Check them out at

• City Hall - EAST side of building (NOT south side)
• Hogan - 10th & Mississippi
• APTIV - 3000 South Avenue

There is also a small vegetable garden at Myrick Park near the Nature place. And the Kane Street Community garden, near the Amtrak Station, definitely offers produce to the community. Check the website for harvest dates and protocols.
