Rumford Hospital goes green for gardens

The Rumford Hospital Green Team took up gardening this spring, tilling up and planting a small garden between two wings of the hospital. Their efforts are now being enjoyed by patients and staff. Fresh green beans have made their way to patient plates. (One gentleman has requested them for both lunch and dinner.) Cherry tomatoes will soon appear on the cafeteria salad bar. The small garden patch isn’t expected to provide a large portion of the hundreds of meals served to the patients, staff and visitors who eat at the hospital each day, but to serve as a demonstration of one more way to Go Green.
