Pierce County Senior Center participants recently had the opportunity to “play in the dirt”.
Emanuel Williams of Loving Acres Farm in Baxley sponsored a raised garden for the local senior center. Williams donated the supplies and tools to create a raised garden to allow seniors to plant vegetables at the senior center on Carter Avenue.
Many of the senior center participants say they had a blast preparing and tilling the soil and planting seeds. Many recalled that it reminded them of their childhoods when home grown vegetable gardens were essential to their families.
