Hi I’m Missy, the leader at the Springfield Community Gardens’ Westside Garden. I grew up on a farm in Brownbranch. I’ve been around gardening my whole life. We had a large garden every year that we all worked in as kids. My mom (Teda Walker) and I started the Westside Community Garden through SCG. Together, we learned how to garden here in town and my real passion for gardening began. I’ve met some wonderful people through SCG. That’s how I met Linda Kirkland, our Westside co-leader. When Mom decided to leave the garden, Linda joined me. We love helping grow food for our family and the weekly produce distribution.
