GARDENING FOR SPECIAL NEEDS POPULATIONS! Yes, You Can Do It TOO!

​Posted by Debra Ann Matthews, first-time gardener, Montgomery County, Participant in The Russellville Urban Garden Project July 9, 2020  
 
⇜ ⇝ The community garden is a neat place to learn how to grow food for the community. And the bonus is that each participate can also take the same principles learned from the garden to a home garden. If you are special needs like I am, a raised garden is just your answer.

​Right now, we are celebrating having our new Russellville Urban Garden T-shirts.  They are also for sale for anyone interested in supporting the education and training that happens in the community garden. Jump on line at https://www.rugplogan.com/blog or go to FB @ Russellville Urban Garden Project  and pick up the $25 Box of Fresh Food from the Garden.  Leave a message for Director, Dr. Nancy Dawson. The Russellville Urban Garden Project thanks you for your support. Text our Hotline @ 270.847.8726.
