Year Two of the Garden Project at the Stark County Jail

Once again in 2010, Meals On Wheels of Stark & Wayne Counties will benefit from the garden project at the Stark County Jail.

Inmates at the jail, under supervision of officers and guided by the OSU Extension office in Massillon and the Stark County Farm Bureau, are planting and cultivating the garden. When the produce is harvested, it will be donated to Meals On Wheels for use in dishes prepared for clients of the agency.

Inmates started some of the garden from seeds this month. Planting will continue in the week ahead. Like many gardens in the region, things are a little behind because of the wet conditions that have prevailed this spring.
