Wild West Community Garden

Jodi Smedley is the creator of the award-winning garden and the leader of this volunteer effort. The garden has grown beyond gardener plots to also include a Children’s Garden, a Feed-the-Needy berm and a Certified Monarch Way Station. Volunteer groups and grants support the garden and the garden contributes hundreds of pounds of produce to local food pantries each year.
