The Tolland Youth Garden is a young sprout of a project that had been germinating for a few years as an idea among members of Tolland's garden club, Tolland Garden Paths.

Last year or so (2011), then-club-president Cheryl Pedemonti brought up the idea again.  Sandie Benjamin agreed it was time.  She put out the word, and a few of us jumped right on board to call ourselves a committee, with Sandie as our fearless leader.

With a great deal of help and guidance from the Tolland Recreation Department, the groundbreaking occurred on October 22, 2011.  A gratifying number of youths, their parents and friends arrived with enthusiasm and tools.

The beds were laid in lasagna-style composting form, and await your eager, nurturing, cultivating hands in the coming months.
