Location, Location, Location

Not only was the group fantastic in Pottawatomie County, but the workshop location was equally impressive.  We were hosted at a local church and right outside was an enormous and beautiful community garden.  We were lucky enough to have break time to explore the garden.

It was exciting to hear employers talking about ways to support the garden in their community and ways to engage staff and those they serve, by incorporating it.

This was an extremely thoughtful group.  There was a lot of emphasis on really establishing a strong foundation for this work by building committees, so that the responsibility for wellness didn't rest on the shoulders of an individual.

There are a number of worksites in Pottawatomie County that have the support of their executives and plan to get to work.  With such strong foundations being built, we are sure to see some exciting things from this group.

A huge thank you to those that participated in this workhsop and for being leaders in their community!
