Millbridge community wellness park flourishing

MILBRIDGE — Milbridge Commons has become a healthy and educational area for the community to enjoy all it has to offer.

The area has walking trails and a community garden and soon will include a permanent orchard and possibly an outdoor venue.

Women for Healthy Rural Living, formerly known as the Women’s Health Resource Library, and the Maine Coast Heritage Trust have worked together to make the park something special.

“What’s also been fabulous are our foundation donors — there’s so many people out there who believe in what we’re doing,” said Susan Jordan Bennett, assistant library director.

“Milbridge Commons is the result of 13 different foundations making significant contributions,” she said.

All are welcome to pick from the garden, which was established with the idea of encouraging good nutrition and helping those suffering from food insecurity.
