Amongst the green beans and tomato plants of Grinnell
Regional Medical Center’s community garden, Lily Taylor, GRMC dietitian, said “yes”
when Andy Swedenhjelm proposed marriage. Swedenhjelm is a high school physical
education and health teacher for the Newton school district and the head high school wrestling coach at Newton.
Taylor has been involved in GRMC’s community garden
for employees. Employees who help work in the garden enjoy the produce it
generates. Taylor had wanted to show Swedenhjelm how well it was doing. So a
few days prior to their Friday evening out for dinner and a movie, Swedenhjelm
planned the big moment.
“She talks about this garden and how neat this
hospital project is. Lily takes pride in the garden so it was a natural place
to ask her,” Swedenhjelm says.
The couple has not set a date yet but plan for summer
of 2014.
