Amanda and her husband Andrew created and maintain the Read Community Garden at Read Elementary, Algoma Blvd. in Oshkosh.

I participated in the Unconference on May 30th at Algoma Bld Church. Amanda led a session on community gardens. When she mention the garden was right next door at Read Elementary I asked if we could see the garden they created.

Amanda and Andrew started the garden 5 years ago. They involve the Read Elementary students in the planting, growing and care of the garden through the school’s after school program. The food that is grown in the garden is harvested and shared with the students and their families.
