Minentonka Middle School East Memorial Community Garden

Here is the description from a plaque in our garden: 

" This garden was inspired by Rosie DelMain....She felt strongly about the environment and conservationism, and in 7th grade, started a group called Roots and Shoots.  The group worked to make the MME community more environmentally friendly and created a vision for a school garden.  Rosie was unable to see this vision become a reality.  After her death, many people came together to remember Rosie, honor her vision and build her a beautiful vegetable garden at MME.  The garden is a tribute to Rosie and the people whose lives she touched.  The garden strives to be a model for sustainability and the organic produce harvested from the garden is donated back to the community. " 

We plant our own seeds, grow vegetables, along with 3 apple trees and some raspberries.  We donate our harvest to the local food shelf.
