Community Service and Volunteer Projects

 Alice’s Garden provides models of regenerative farming, community cultural development, and economic agricultural enterprises. The garden’s historical importance includes having  once been the site of the Wisconsin Underground Railroad. Now Venice, who is a fellow  Garden Club member, brings the community together here to cultivate  the land and friendships. Venice invited the Garden Club to adopt the labyrinth.  We have done planting, weeding and clearing of the path starting in the fall of 2020.  The volunteers always leave there with a sense of accomplishment and comradery.
