LACONIA — The Laconia Rotary Club has completed its Carey House Homeless Shelter Project. Last fall club members constructed four raised vegetable gardens on the lawn area behind the shelter. Last week club members returned to fill the gardens with tomato plants, cucumbers, peppers, onions, zucchini, squash and green beans.
With the assistance of expert gardener Kathy O'Conner of Lowe's Gilford and Lowe's generous donation of vegetable plants, they have provided the residence of the shelter an opportunity to learn about gardening.
In addition these four vegetable beds should yield enough fresh vegetables for a family of six, with plenty of extra vegetables to give to their neighbors. Laconia Rotary Club meets every Thursday for lunch meetings at the Belknap Mill in Downtown Laconia and is actively seeking new members.
