LIMA, Ohio (WLIO) — Lima Allen County Neighborhoods in Partnership is preparing for the upcoming growing season by opening applications for community garden plots and hosting a seminar focused on agricultural business models.
The organization is offering both opportunities free of charge and open to the public, aiming to increase community involvement while providing hands-on learning experiences. Garden participants will have access to all necessary supplies, including water, to plant and maintain their plots.
“Our goal this year is to get the gardens up and running good and get good produce and just offer it all to the community,” said Denise James, president of LACNIP.
The agricultural business models seminar is scheduled for Tuesday, April 14, from 5 to 6 p.m. at the LACNIP center. Organizers say the session is designed to help participants better understand ways to turn agricultural efforts into sustainable ventures.
Garden applications are available Monday through Thursday from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the LACNIP facility, located at 1440 W. Spring St. Organizers encourage residents to take advantage of the opportunity to learn, grow fresh produce and connect with others in the community.
