Around Windham: Ann Taft returns with the Around Windham column

I have been asked to resume writing my “Around Windham” column for The Portager. I am a big fan of the Windham area and have lived here for 56 years. My mom grew up in Windham, and I visited here frequently. Windham is a very caring community. It is quick to assist people when they need it. There are many interesting happenings here that get overlooked. I enjoy promoting our community and its great activities. To promote Windham, I will need your help! Please let me know of any activities or events that will be taking place here! Keep in mind that the column will publish once per month. It is scheduled for the third Friday of each month. I will be submitting it the previous Monday. You may contact me at (330) 259-5596 or at stamper_82@yahoo.com.

Thanks to Portage County librarian Sarah McCoy, Windham has a seed library. Need seeds to plant? Go to the Windham library. You do not need to be a library card holder. Anyone can go and get seeds for free! You can get up to five types of seeds each visit. The seed library is modeled after one at the Kent Free Library, which has had one for several years. The library has info on how to grow a garden. If you do not have space for a garden, try growing in buckets or totes! It can be done. I garden in 18-gallon totes. It is much easier than in-the-ground gardening. Some people place their totes on old lawn chairs to make them easier to reach.
