Lynne had a vision of a garden where the children in her programs could experience the fruits of their labor. She wanted a place where they could learn how fruits and vegetables are grown, what makes the healthiest plants, which ones thrive in the desert, and when to plant them. Most importantly, she wanted them to eat the produce they grew. A group of local aspiring gardeners promised to help make her vision a reality. With different skills and knowledge, they reached out to the community for support, showing how much they valued Lynne.
What you see today is the result of the City government, local businesses and citizens coming together. Lynne’s Garden was dedicated to the children of Needles in 2009. This ongoing community project will continue to grow, just as the children grew under Lynne’s programs at the Needles Recreation Center. It stands as a living reminder of the love and hope Lynne had for the youth of Needles.
