Library Steps to Learning Benches

Provide Fresh Food for Growing Kids

IMPORTANT “STEPS”: Almost 50 years ago, the beautiful Carnegie Library in Great Falls was torn down to make way for the library we have today. Historic interior stone steps from that Library, stored with the City for 48 years, are being honored again in a new way - as Learning Center and Orchard Benches in the 2.2 acre Westside Orchard Garden at 400 16th St. SW in Great Falls, MT.

What a wonderful opportunity to honor a special person, family, business, or pet by sponsoring a bench. The benches will be placed throughout the Westside Orchard Garden to be used by everyone who visits whether it’s to volunteer, sit under a tree, have a picnic, or just enjoy a sunset.

In their own words: “Cherry tomatoes are my favorite snack now!” 7yr. old Boys & Girls Club 2nd grader “Our Head Start families love all the fresh food you bring to us!” Head Start Volunteer Grandma.

Your purchase of a commemorative plaque for one of the Carnegie Benches in the Garden will support this important local program.

Reserve your bench and choose your spot in the Garden!

The Garden is also a “growing place” for kids and adults to learn about gardening, healthy eating, composting, worms, and playing in the dirt! The summer of 2014 kids grew in the Garden 5 days a week. The steps from the Carnegie Library are being “repurposed” as benches in the Garden, raising funds to help support expanded growing for these groups.

The Westside Orchard Garden is managed by Sunburst Unlimited, Inc., a local nonprofit (Gardens from Garbage). Ownership remains with the City of Great Falls. The Carnegie Benches will be permanently installed in the Garden, and remain the property of the City.
