What’s “Growin” on the Westside?

Ever heard of the Dolittle Senior Adult Garden? I hadn’t either until around earlierthis year. This is the oldest community garden in the a City of Las Vegas. They just wrapped up the spring/summer harvest after growing things like kale, echinacea, basil, watermelon, strawberries, a variety of melons, figs, tomates, exotic cucumbers and much more.

If you are 55 and older the sean rent on a garden bed is a cheap as $10 which includes up to 6 months of growing.

This season you will see of community members growing things like squash, rosemary, carrots, eggplant, varietiesof lettuce, mustard and collard greens and much more. Keep an eye on the PECAN tree toward the back of the garden as they should be ready to harvest in a couple months, just in time for Christmas.

To get a garden bed, contact the Dolittle Senior Center, space is limited.

Looking for garden tips, ask one of the Master Gardeneda in your community include the Obodo Collective.

The garden is located at
1200 W Blankenship Ave, Las Vegas NV 89106
