Last year, Osan Parent Network won a Newman's Own Award. One of only 15 world-wide winners, we received $5,000 to improve the quality of life of Military families here at Osan Air Base. So far, the grant has funded our parenting library, located at the community center, and supplies and equipment for playgroup. The largest portion of the funds is designated for construction of our Kids Community Garden. The garden area is being fenced this week, and is located behind the hospital.
Once the fencing is completed, we will install composters, a storage shed, a rain water collection system, and some outdoor toys. A garden-breaking party will be scheduled soon. The garden will have a butterfly garden, herb garden, veggies and flowers, and more. We're limited only by our imagination, so if you are interested in getting involved in the garden, or have ideas for nature projects or garden art for the kids to do, please email us at osanparents@gmail.com. We look forward to hearing from you!
