GARDEN,
continued from Page A1
In those fi ve years, the gar-
den has supplied fresh food to
MPFS and as well as Simonka
Place, a women’s shelter on
River Road North. During
the event, Burks honored the
Sunrise Rotary Club, Cop-
per Creek Mercantile, Corban
University and Livingstone Ad-
ventist Academy students who
come out to help, and several
individual donors who have
kept the garden going. Kathy
Whittam was honored as a
charter member of the garden
for her efforts in getting it off
the ground.
Last year, a multitude of vol-
unteer efforts resulted in 15
new beds, a new fence, pergola
and toolshed. Whittam is now
one of the largest gardens in
MPFS’s network of 63 com-
munity gardens. Burks said she
is planning more fl owers next
year to attract pollinators.
MPFS also helps those re-
ceiving assistance start their
own gardens with soil, fertilizer,
seeds, plant starts, compost and
support.
“MPFS doesn’t just hand out
a food box. They teach and they
educate,” Burks said. “It is an
amazing opportunity. I would
encourage anyone to volunteer,
because besides helping people
you come away with a lot more
than you put in.”
