Garden yields for eight families in Belle Mina
From a one acre garden at the Tennessee Valley sub station in Belle Mina eight families regularly get plenty of vegetables and during emergencies dozens of others share the produce. The project is led by Fred Stewart supervisor of the sub station and involves workers connected with the station. It began three years ago as a summer fall and winter garden to complement spring gardening. Station employees maintain their regular duties and garden work without interference. The arrangement has benefited the station families and nearby residents and recalls how the Red Cross utilized gardens in 1930.
