In true partnership form, the Garden of Eaton sprung to life as Garden City Harvest’s seventh community garden. This garden is located on the land of Blessed Trinity Catholic Church, which is also adjacent to the Joseph’s Residence at Maclay Commons, a housing facility for families transitioning from homelessness. The idea for a garden was formed by Jenna Finney, an AmeriCorps VISTA at the Joseph’s, Blessed Trinity’s social justice committee, and Tim Hall of Garden City Harvest. This garden is a great example of people working together to realize an idea.
Many thanks to Charlie Warner, owner of Rainmaker Lawn Sprinklers, for establishing an irrigation system, Hans Zuuring for the construction of a tool shed and picnic tables, Joyce Latimer for her organization of the church’s involvement, Blessed Trinity for the use of their land and water, and the City of Missoula Office of Neighborhoods for project start-up funds, the Poverello Center's Joesph Residence at Maclay Commons.
