On June 4th, Wellpoint Care network launched their 2024 vegetable and flower Community Garden season. Children from St. Margaret Mary School were in attendance along with representatives Jack Nelson and Bill Selzer from the Elmbrook Rotary Club, and Wellpoint Staff were in attendance.
The group was welcomed by Alex Williams and the Wellpoint Garden Team. The Team recently completed 9 raised planting beds, three of them set for kids and six taller beds that are accessible for walkers and wheelchairs. Thank you, Bed Builders; Jack Nelson, Tom Curl, Thomas Steinbach, Kerri Richlen, Mark Thurner, and Bill Selzer were thanked for their hard work and craftsmanship. Blessing Clark from Wellpoint was also a member of the construction crew.
The activities included:
- The dedication of three raised beds, in recognition of the Elmbrook Rotary Club for their dedication and support of the Wellpoint Care Community Garden, along with Jack Nelson and Bill Selzer for their involvement in this project. Permanent metal plaques will be installed on three of the beds.
- Children colored pictures of flowers and plants, then planted annual flowers in the new beds.
The Community Garden Team looks forward to the completion of the MMSD project, and development of in ground garden plots, and a Peace Garden giving staff and residents a tranquil place to enjoy.
