Poulsbo, the next town north of us, about 12 miles away, has a great place called Frank Raab Park. Raab Park has a Community P-Patch, a picnic shelter, a sand volleyball court, a big open field, a basketball court, a skate park, and a leash-free area for dogs. Perhaps more uniquely, it also has a Youth Garden, a 10,000 square foot garden planned, planted and tended by youth. Its goals are to help kids develop a curiosity about the natural world, educate families about the connection between food, nutrition and health, and develop community interest in gardening with youth.
Cheryl, as part of her Master Gardener activities, regularly volunteers at the Youth Garden in Raab Park. This week, she also enlisted the assistance of Grover and Mark. Hoop house construction!
