   An Exciting first new development project at the Steam Pump Ranch

 

  Joyce Rychener is leading a Historic Garden Re-creation Project

  for all community residents, especially including students, to participate in

  funding, researching, building, planting, and maintaining

  the Historic Garden Project.

 

  Joyce's sketch depicts a typical Foursquare garden used by many of the

  pioneers so they would have plentiful vegetables for their families.   We plan to

  start with the Native American Garden to be located on the North end of

  the Steam Pump Ranch Property.  More details soon.

 

  See our new "Historic Gardens"  Brochure for more detailed information (Brochure)

  The Jan-Feb 2009 Newsletter has recent information about the Garden Project

  You can contact Joyce for more information, email:      Joyce at ovhistory dot org
