WFW Iowa Plants Seeds With Community Garden
Check out the slide show of the garden below!
So far, 23 plots totaling about a half-acre are being worked by residents of Waterloo and Cedar Falls. WFW organizer Chris Schwartz is hoping that by bringing people together in the garden, pride and stability will endure in the neighborhood. Aside from the obvious benefits of harvesting fresh fruits and vegetables, the small garden is helping to stimulate conversation about the community.
