There have been some exciting infrastructure improvements at the community garden in the past year. The fencing was fixed with entry points added and new beds were created to grow food in a communal area with the intent of distributing to neighbors. Perhaps most exciting of all is the ongoing renovation of the greenhouse and tool shed at the site. The technical know-how and support these projects are receiving has been invaluable.
