Climate Change Native Habitat and Community Garden · Brighter Planet




Our little city is a sustainable city, population 1,360. We have the cleanest lake throughout Northwest Wisconsin. The town is diligent on keeping Shell Lake free of invasive species.


Our Native Wildflower and Butterfly Garden is located near the lake. Here is a photo of a community raised bed garden we started at Lakeland Manor senior housing in 2007. Sister Richelle and I are wild for pesto and grow lots of basil in the raised bed community garden.
We know that Washburn County, Wisconsin, is bracing for 8,000 people coming off the unemployment benefits roll. The food pantries are gearing up. Shell Lake is a sustainable city. We have a Farmers Market and need a lot more community gardens. The funding would help us tremendously. A city that can feed itself is sustainable. Please vote.
