If I were you, I’d plan to be at the Garden on September 18th ! We couldn’t do it last year for some reason, so this one’s going to have to be twice as much fun !

Protecting our local community garden is important

Protecting our local community garden is important because it is exactly what the name implies, a place for the community. Children have grown up here, playing and working among the plots which some have inherited and continued tending after their parents have gone. It is simultaneously a place of history and of the future.
