Despite Wednesday's drizzly weather NKOA had a great visit to Lots To Gardens Wood St Service Garden. Both parents and children got a chance to play in the dirt and plant garlic cloves. The children were mesmerized by the growth happening in the greenhouse; and spent quite a bit of time touching and observing all the worms in the wet soil. We will definitely be visiting Lots to Gardens again...hopefully next Spring so that we can see all the garlic that we planted!

Another great way to learn more about locally grown vegetables is to visit your local farmer's market. Lots to Gardens is a large contributer to the Lewiston Farmer's Market.
