Oskaloosa Community Gardens

Garden Information and History

In November of 2014, members of William Penn University joined forces with the Oskaloosa Community Garden Committee. For the past two years, WPU supported a communal garden, but struggled to find volunteers and spread their message. In 2015, they doubled the garden size and designated plots for community members. A total of 17 plots were filled. 

 

The William Penn University Garden is currently seeking a volunteer garden facilitator. For a full description of responsibilities or more information on this position, please contact Ann Smith at bluezonesprojectoskaloosa@gmail.com
