EAU CLAIRE, Wis. (WLAX/WEUX) – After losing its home, a local community garden is looking for a new place to take root. With the closure of HSHS St. Joseph’s Hospital, the community garden on its property needs to find a new location. The garden gives community members plots for growing fresh produce which is then donated to local pantries and kitchens around the county.
A representative for the garden says their first step will be to reorganize as a non-profit, and they are focused on the future.
