OTTAWA GARDEN CLUB
The Ottawa Garden Club met Oct. 29 at the Fox HiRise. Dan Eilts was door greeter, Jane Norem was the hospitality greeter and President Mark Parisot called the meeting to order. Regular membership included new members Carrie Orr and Debbie Harke and one guest.
Stephanie Stacy, owner of Garden’s Gate Garden Center and Landscaping, presented the program on Ottawa’s Community Garden Project. Two acres adjacent to Garden’s Gate will be available for any citizen of Ottawa to rent to be able to develop their own garden. Some of the garden area will be handicap accessible and grants will be available. Water is on site, paid for by the city. Applications are required; the gardening period is from April 1 through Nov. 1. Additional information is available through cityofottawa.org.
Additional topics included the status of Ottawa is Blooming. There will be a meeting Wednesday, Nov. 20, at City Hall to discuss methods to improve the coordination and communication of the committee and its volunteers.
