Grant gives Community Garden a lift
April 1st was an exciting day for TEEG. June Ferarro and Sofia Thurber, Putnam Rotary Interact Club co-presidents, presented Carl Asikainen, TEEG executive director; and Chelsea French, Resource Developer, with two checks. The first, $1,000 grant from the Rotary District 7890, is for upgrades to TEEG’s irrigation and pest control screening for its community garden. The second check was $100 from the Interact Club for a new garden cart. The Interact Club, along with many other volunteers, said they’re excited to be working in the garden again this year.
