We started a non profit to assisst the local Park and Recreation District manage a river front park/campground and a day use river front park. So far we have implemented several revenue generators.  This is an unpaid effort and all monies go back into the Park. We had a very succesful year and are able to develop part of the Park into a Community greenhouse/allotment . The Local Grange has lost access to the property that they have used for several years for that purpose. We've pulled the trigger and ordered a 30x60 greenhouse for a collaboration with the Grange. The current plan is to construct the raised bed frames in the greenhouse that will be used for the allotment spaces, and be ready for spring.  One of the things I want to include is a Hugel bed, Infecting people with permie thoughts. I'll include some pictures as the project progresses.
