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
