Open house at First Fridays
A gardening program, to promote creation of family and community gardens, will kick off an Elkhart County initiative aimed at combating the effects of the recession.
Community gardens in Berkeley

I was in the San Francisco Bay area this past weekend and stumbled upon an Earth Day celebration in Berkeley. The Berkeley Community Gardening Collaborative was represented there.
It was great to see another gardening project similar to the one in Elkhart County. Of course, the ones in Berkeley started in the 60’s and has many school gardens, non-profit gardens, community gardens, training gardens and more. Maybe someday Goshen/Elkhart will be like Berkeley.

Welcome to the recently launched Elkhart County Works Together website. As more people become interested in this initiative, more connecting pieces will be added to this website. One of the first goals of this website is to help with coordination of the Garden project.
