Before the needed rains hit this weekend, Doane University Football volunteers took just over an hour on a pleasant Friday evening to clean up the community garden for the season. Players and coaches prepared garden plots using both hand tools and a tiller, raked brush and pulled weeds, cleaned out and organized the garden shed, picked up sticks and trash, and prepared other areas for future maintenance. Their hard work and willingness to help out each spring is appreciated in order to make the garden a great space for residents to utilize during the growing season.

Thanks goes out to city departments for help in loading up and disposing of weeds and branches, transporting the tiller (graciously on loan from Crete Ace), rounding up extra garden tools for the cleanup, and turning on the water hydrant.
