How does the Paradise Center’s garden grow? Within the next year, it should be with edible herbs and vegetables.
The Paradise Center received a $2,000 grant from the Longboat Key Garden Club for an edible garden, which they’ll start after the dog days of summer. Executive director Suzy Brenner is starting the next steps of finding a site on the center’s property, working with the Tidewell Foundation and their landscaping company and visiting St. Martha Catholic School to see their garden.
“There isn’t really a public garden on Longboat Key that people can come and just garden if they don’t have their own yard,” Brenner said. “It can be a very social activity and it’s good for physical health, mental health, all the things we like to do. If we do some kind of edible garden we can make it useful.”
