Volunteers clean up Belle Haven Community Garden
Through a joint effort between the Menlo-Atherton High School Service Learning Center and Rotary Club of Menlo Park, the Belle Haven Community Garden got a “spring cleaning” on March 7.
The recent rain and warm weather created the perfect recipe for growth, of both intentionally planted crops and weeds. Students and Rotary members teamed up to clear an overgrown access path.
The Belle Haven Community Garden was established by the Rotary Club with support from the city of Menlo Park and community donations. It offers 35 planting beds and a small orchard to provide Belle Haven residents with an opportunity to garden and grow their own food.
Seeking info about Woodside Dairy House history
Do you have any untold memories, records or documents about Wunderlich Park’s Dairy House in Woodside? Friends of Huddart and Wunderlich Parks is inviting everyone, including local historians, longtime residents, descendants of early families and researchers to share their knowledge about the historic building and Woodside’s early agricultural past.
The Woodside Dairy House was built in 1874, serving as a non-electric refrigerator that kept crops harvested from Hazel Wood Farm fresh until they were exported. Members of the Friends of Huddart and Wunderlich Parks are curious as to how the Dairy House was used and are looking to gain for insights from the community.
If you have any photos, knowledge, documents or stories related to the Dairy House to share, contact Executive Director Kym Teppo at fhwp2961@gmail.com.
