In 2010 the idea was birthed to create a community garden in Horicon. Community gardens provide a place for all citizens to grow their own produce or flowers. With city approval, Kiwanis Park was chosen as an ideal location. The river was near-by, a playground would be located right across the road, and an un-used area could be reclaimed for the garden.
At first only plots were allocated, topsoil brought in, and gardeners had to haul water during dry spells from the river or bathrooms across the road. The following year a shelter was built.
Future plans would include a storage shed. And possibly a water tank. What a wonderful opportunity for Horicon Residents.
