There's a lot going on in the Trolley District these days. Homes are coming to life; yards are being cleaned up and green-ed up! And, if you've peered inside the block between 24th and 25th streets and Monroe and Madison, you may have noticed an incredible transformation! What once was an abandoned collection of weeds and junk, in an otherwise sketchy urban jungle, is now a soon to be green jewel in our ever-improving community! The Junior League of Ogden has been working with donors and neighbors to create a community garden, aptly named the Oasis. This project has been in the works for some time, but over the course of the last summer has seen many improvements including a new paved walking path, a patch of green grass, beautiful arts&crafts lights, and a new irrigation system.
The Junior League plans to have garden plots available next spring, along with an official unveiling! They are having a preliminary unveiling this fall to introduce the project to area neighbors. The pre-view will happen on Thursday, November 12, 2009 from 4:00 - 6:00 pm.
We encourage everyone to come out for this wonderful project, and find out how you can get involved next year!
