Town Talk: A conversation with Fern Vesquez – CHEO Garden
In this Town Talk, our publisher Mike McCool speaks with Fern Vazquez about the CHEO Community garden and food programs in Warren County. Fern gives us an update on the two gardens that CHEO will be planting in this third season. With her are Michael Graham, Deborah Fischetti, and Marie Wigodsky, volunteers that worked the garden in previous years.
Donations to the CHEO garden can be made through C-CAP. Checks should be made payable to C-CAP with a notion on the check that the money is earmarked for the CHEO garden. Their address is C-CAP, 316 N Royal Ave # L1, Front Royal VA 22630.
Are you ready to help in the garden? Contact Fern at 757-630-2362 or email her at fernv1022@gmail.com.
Town Talk is a series on the Royal Examiner where we will introduce you to local entrepreneurs, businesses, non-profit leaders, and political figures who influence Warren County. Topics will be varied but hopefully interesting. If you have an idea, topic, or want to hear from someone in our community, let us know. Send your request to news@RoyalExaminer.com
