Opportunity Gardens
What started out as just an idea has blossomed into a beautiful garden.
Opportunity Gardens located between Opportunity Living Houses K and S in Rockwell City celebrates its first growing season. Spaces were offered up to the community on a first come first served basis. The result was a budding success - flowers, fruits and vegetables, meticulously cared for by clients and the community flourished in a beautiful relaxing setting. If you are interested in sponsoring an in-ground or raised plot for next year, contact Opportunity Living at 712-464-8961.
