The site has successfully had a community garden previously. The area has been fully tilled and water is now available. A compost pile is also being created on the site. Available plots are 10’x4′ and $20 to reserve. Those who are interested will pay at the library but will need to contact Arlee at arleekilbourn@gmail.com to get more information and reserve a plot.
