AAF&G grant gets YDL's Superior Library growing
Checking in recently at Ypsilanti District Library's Superior Township branch, we were delighted to see this lovely garden growing strong! A 2016 AAF&G grant of $1000 provided funding for this Learning Garden -- a fun, educational, and nutritious experience for neighborhood residents.
For the past two summers, YDL has worked closely with Food Gatherers, which provides free lunches for children ages 18 and under at all three YDL branches. Lunches at the Superior branch are served outside, right by the garden, and are supplemented with produce picked fresh by the kids in attendance.
The AAF&G grant also supported the Pollinator Garden at YDL's Michigan Avenue Branch, and the Library's Ypsi Seed Library project. Learn more about all the great programs happening at YDL here.
