We give back not only to those in need within our community, but also the future generations of this wonderful community. What started out as a great idea has grown exponentially and became an amazing reality.

Stillwater Lacrosse Boys Trade Their Lacrosse Sticks for Shovels

The RCS Giving Garden is looking better and better every day thanks to our community partnerships’ donations. Last week the entire Stillwater Boys Lacrosse team came out to the garden after school to help us with numerous spring garden tasks. Your gift of time and service are greatly appreciated! Forty-plus young men tackled the jobs of painting row stakes, preparing raised beds for planting, digging weed clumps, trimming raspberry canes and spreading 25 cubic yards of aged farmpost to improve our soil! I can feel the tomatoes happiness already! They are growing nicely in the greenhouse waiting to spread their roots in the soil in a few weeks.

A special THANK YOU goes out to Sarah Buerkley from Sarah’s Cottage Creations in Stillwater and Eric from Scout, Inc. in Oakdale for their generous donations toward the purchase of this fluffy farmpost delivered from Kern Landscape Resources. Messy and stinky it is, but our plants will be so pleased!

A shout out to Dan and Nate and the rest of the RCS staff for all of their work to improve the property and garden area and especially for their help directing the boys!
