​On going programs: 
3 sisters Garden:
The ECC and The A.R.E club have been working hard on planting a 3 sisters garden at our garden area next our pavilion. Please stop in to check out their progress. Here is a little information on the tradition of the 3 sisters and the planting technique used found on the Native Seeds website.

The tradition of calling these crops the "Three Sisters" originated with the Haudenosaunee, pronounced Ho-deh-no-shaw-nee. Also known as Iroquois, Haudenosaunee live in regions around the Great Lake in the Northeastern United States and Canada. All three types of seeds are planted together in the same mound in the Haudenasaunee planting method. The elevated mound assists with drainage and avoids water logging of the plant roots which is important in this region that receives abundant rainfall in the summer.

We have completed our first E.Y.E.s program and it was a really great experience for all involved. This program was designed to help young Enfielders with their small businesses or their small business ideas. E.Y.E.s participants worked on developing a logo, making a business card, budgeting, marketing and planning. They also get a space here on our website to show their work! A big shout out to Anna Gallegos and Kristin Bigness for their volunteer time and expertise in graphic design!  I couldn't have done it without their help.  * We are still finishing up some designs and we will update when complete.

​Harmony Niemi is a recent high school graduate and Enfield resident. She is the founder of Harm's Charms and creates beautiful, handcrafted jewelry.

She is well on her way! Harmony would also like to travel to other festivals and art fairs as her business grows. You can also find her work on Instagram @harmscharmsjewelry
