Community Garden

Community gardens are gaining popularity once again. Dedicated people in communities all over are coming together toward the common goal of creating a garden for everyone to nurture and care for. Hudson is joining the movement this year as well.

Hudson's assistant town clerk Rachael Arnold received a Project GROW community garden mini grant worth $300, sponsored by LiveWell Colorado and Steps to a Healthier Weld County through the Weld County Department of Public Health and Environment.

Support for the garden project is growing rapidly. Arnold mentioned a local day care provider who plans to bring the children over to work on the garden and teach them about gardening and community.

Right now the project is still a work in progress. The proposed location for the garden is in Hudson Memorial Park, but the project needs help getting started.

Anyone who is interested in offering their assistance or volunteering on the events committee for Hudson can contact Arnold at 303-536-9311 for more information.
