Greenhouse Construction

In the fall of 2002 volunteers with the Alton-Godfrey Rotary Club erected  a 30-foot-by-96-foot greenhouse with a metal frame and wooden ends.

The Rotary Club agreed to purchase and construct a greenhouse costing $10,000 or less for the project. A condition of the donation was that the garden would "repay" Rotary's expenses back to the community by providing project "shares" for families to purchase at low cost so they can obtain fresh produce.

Now, the end of winter 2003, Amy begins planting for the first season.
