The Spectrum Network starts its own garden

David Cavagnaro tills the Spectrum garden

Volunteers have planted a Wellness Garden behind The Spectrum Network offices in Decorah.

 The Spectrum Network staff and volunteers worked Friday on the garden on the former Bolson Mill property that Spectrum owns near its main building.

David Cavagnaro, who has planted two edible gardens at Luther College and another at Winneshiek Medical Center, supervised the volunteers at the planting.

The new garden is a therapeutic garden that will be accessible to everyone of all abilities.

The Decorah community supported the project with donations of time, money and materials.
