Community Garden

Alamo Navajo Health and Wellness Center has a new diabetes prevention and treatment project for the greater Alamo community. The Wellness Center's walking path has several areas plowed, thanks to Casey Guerro. The walking path has 3 raised bed areas and 1 small field that will be used to plant native seeds, including: corn / melons / squash / beans / tomato. Raised beds will be made first week of April, beds will be filled with a soil/compost mixture mid-April, and seeds will be planted around May 1st.

Seeds donated by the Navajo Nation's "New Dawn" program.

Community garden development has been a collaborative effort from community garden planning committee members, Wellness Center staff, "New Dawn" program seed donations, and also help from Socorro County Options, Prevention, and Education (SCOPE), A Comprehensive Health Council serving Socorro County, NM.
