The Woodbury Community Garden held its kick-off event, and grants from the Minnesota Department of Agriculture and AARP Minnesota allowed for an expansion of plots, raised beds and wheelchair-accessible beds. The University of Minnesota Extension Washington County Master Gardeners helped construct the raised beds and refurbish the tool shed. Scouting American Girls’ Troop 7071 of Woodbury, under the guidance of future Eagle Scout Audrey Siefken, constructed the wheelchair-accessible beds. Institution Community Work Crew from Stillwater assisted in getting soil into the garden beds, and Jerry’s Foods granted each gardener a coupon for a free plant.
