**GOOD NEWS: Craig Simchuk is planning to transform his neighborhood with a new community garden initiative!**
Craig Simchuk, a passionate resident of Oakwood Heights, has announced an inspiring initiative aimed at fostering community spirit and sustainability in his neighborhood.
Recognizing the potential to beautify unused spaces and promote local food production, Craig plans to establish a community garden on a vacant lot at the heart of Oakwood Heights.
The project, tentatively named “Oakwood Greens,” aims to convert the neglected lot into a vibrant hub where neighbors can come together to grow fresh produce, exchange gardening tips, and build meaningful connections. Craig envisions raised beds bursting with tomatoes, peppers, and herbs, alongside spaces for flowers and native plants to attract pollinators.
“I’ve always believed in the power of community and the joy of gardening,” said Craig, a retired school teacher known for his green thumb and enthusiasm for sustainability.
“This garden will not only beautify our neighborhood but also provide us with fresh, nutritious food and a place to relax and unwind.”
The initiative has already garnered enthusiastic support from local residents, who are eager to roll up their sleeves and get involved.
Craig plans to organize volunteer days, workshops on organic gardening, and social events to bring neighbors together around the garden.
With Oakwood Greens, Craig Simchuk is sowing the seeds of a greener, more connected community in Oakwood Heights—one raised bed at a time.
