The “Garden at Eden” grows vegetables, hope for students » Naples Daily News


The “Garden at Eden” grows vegetables, hope for students » Naples Daily News:

"The “Garden at Eden,” taking shape off of County Barn Road in Naples, is expected to bear fruit in a variety of ways. The compact farm, a project of Eden Autism Services Florida, will produce organic vegetables and tropical fruits, giving students at Eden’s Eimerman Education Center food, cash and the opportunity to gain experience selling their crops at local farmers’ markets and restaurants.

Volunteers and friends of Eden Florida gathered on Saturday morning to plant some of the final fruit trees in their new grove and enjoy a light lunch. Rainy skies couldn’t dampen the participants’ enthusiasm; planting continued right through several showers."
