What started as a simple idea has turned into something pretty incredible growing right here in Central City.
In this episode, Bill Bolte, Laurie Dexter, and Pastor Francis Kinyua from the Central City United Methodist Church join us to talk all things community garden — how it got started, who keeps it growing, who it helps, and the big dreams they have for the future. From volunteers and partnerships to fresh produce and community connections, this garden is doing a whole lot more than growing tomatoes.
If you’ve ever wondered how it works, wanted to volunteer, or just love hearing good things happening in our community, this episode is for you!
