Hi. we are Fred and Sandy Rosenkrans! We have been the garden leaders at the Springfield Community Gardens’ Weller Community Garden for the last three years. We have both always been around plants, and farming. Fred spent his childhood in Nebraska on a farm and moved to Iowa as a pastor. Sandy was raised in the country in New Jersey and has always loved gardening. We met in Springfield while Sandy was going to Evangel and Fred was attending Central Bible College. We left Iowa about five years ago to move back to Springfield to be close to our grandchildren. It’s been wonderful. Every Sunday, garden members meet and share a meal together. We used to garden out of survival to feed our children and foster children. Now we garden to connect our community with local healthy produce and friendship. Join us at our garden behind the Weller Community Church on Tuesdays, Thursdays or Saturdays, 8-10 am!
