A big green-thumbs up to the Ketchikan Wellness Coalition, volunteers and grant-funders involved in starting a new community garden network here in Ketchikan.
The garden sites have been taking shape adjacent to Tongass Federal Credit Union, Clover Pass Community Church and Rendezvous Senior Day Services.
