The Park has been entered in a grant competition sponsored by Edy’s Fruit Bars and the Fruit Tree Planting foundation. The top vote getter will receive 50 fruit trees. The 50 new trees we could obtain with this grant would be a nice addition for the park. We would like to enlist your help in obtaining the trees. All we ask is that you please go to Communities Take Root and vote for the Fruit and Spice Park. You are able to vote daily so please take a few minutes and go online and vote for the Fruit & Spice Park Project.
