Eduardo Rascone introduces community backyard gardening at teaching garden

El Paso County is set to enhance community engagement in sustainable living through a new teaching and demonstration garden aimed at empowering residents to cultivate their own backyard gardens. During the recent El Paso County Commissioners Court meeting, Eduardo Rascone, the garden coordinator, outlined the initiative's purpose: to educate the community on growing their own produce.

The garden will serve as a hands-on resource, providing residents with the knowledge and skills necessary to start their own gardening projects. This initiative not only promotes self-sufficiency but also encourages healthier eating habits and environmental stewardship among community members.

In addition to the garden project, the meeting included discussions on various community programs aimed at improving local quality of life. However, the teaching garden stood out as a significant step towards fostering a culture of sustainability and self-reliance in El Paso County.

As the project moves forward, residents can look forward to workshops and demonstrations that will make gardening accessible and enjoyable for everyone. This initiative reflects the county's commitment to enhancing community well-being and promoting sustainable practices.
