Copied from Wisconsin Main Street

Today's award-winner recognizes a unique approach to community engagement. Platteville Main Street’s sustainability committee coordinates the Community Garden. It is located next to a small city park downtown and includes fifteen different beds. The goal is to bring residents together, encourage healthier lifestyles, and provide space for gardeners to share knowledge and skills. This project involves people of all ages from all over the community. City crews haul compost and wood chips to the site, then a group of Platteville High School students spread them where needed. Potential gardeners must sign a contract saying they will maintain their plot and are charged $35, $30 of which is refunded upon cleanup in the fall. For the young volunteers, it increases their respect and appreciation for the often elderly gardeners, and increases their own self-esteem and social skills. Thrivent Insurance provided a grant to help offset the $300 project cost. The committee is currently looking for more downtown space to expand the program.
