Timber Rattlers Garden for the Community
July 19, 2010 - Midwest League (MWL1)
Wisconsin Timber Rattlers News Release
GRAND CHUTE, WI - The Wisconsin Timber Rattlers have taken on a community project this season that requires a green thumb. Rattlers Vice President of Marketing, Angie Ceranski witnessed a growing number of companies in the area planting vegetable gardens for a variety of reasons with the common initiative being the promotion of sustainability and locally grown food. She felt an undertaking like this would further demonstrate the Timber Rattlers' support for the community while bringing food to the tables of families less fortunate.
In late May, the Timber Rattlers planted a vegetable garden just beyond the fence off the left field corner of Time Warner Cable Field. Led by Angie's efforts, a handful of staff members and a couple generous contributors have helped made this project possible:
* Lakeshore Cleaners (N. Richmond Street, Appleton) prepared the garden plot and provided their special mix of compost.
* Shroeder's Fox Valley Greenhouse, De Pere, provided the starter plants.
* Home Depot (Appleton West) donated the garden fence.
Produce from the garden will be donated, throughout the growing season, to St. Joseph's Food Program ('Grow a Row' program) and the Salvation Army, Appleton.
A photo journal has been set up to log the progress of the garden at: http://www.tratsgarden.blogspot.com/.
