Have you seen the Garden?

The new Community Garden by Sheridan's Outdoor Prayer and Reflection Center has been a blessing all summer long. 
This is a pictorial timeline from Ray Swanson of how the garden has come together. There are many Sheridan folks to thank for making this possible. Hunter Sieckmeyer worked hard with lots of others and the Thrivent Caring Congregational funding as a part of his Eagle Scout project. Be sure to take some time to walk by the pond and see all that is growing.
