Madeline Island solves discord with community garden

"One way to solve discord on an island is to start a community garden.

"'The original purpose of this garden was to bring people together,' said Glen Carlson, a founding member and president of the Madeline Island Community Garden & Project, now in its seventh year.

"A one acre plot close to downtown La Pointe provides produce for 20 members this year, which includes individuals, families, and a few businesses. Carlson, also the co-owner of Madeline Island Candles, shared the garden's humble beginnings last week while also giving a tour of it."
