This week’s featured Ada Icon Veggie Garden belongs to the Hibbard family who live on Bentley Road just west of Ada.
Ada area residents may remember Kyle’s vegetable stand on North Main near Kingswood Apartments.
He has since graduated, married, and moved to their present home on Bentley Road where his family continues to grow a variety of vegetables in a very large garden. Tending all those plants takes work, and the whole family helps. Pictured are Becca and Kyle Hibbard, and their children Aubrey (2) and Kendall (almost 1).

AT THE BOTTOM OF THE STORY -
Summer is a great time to explore the art spread across the Ada community – especially for viewers unable to visit art galleries elsewhere in Ohio.
As a weekly series, The Icon will feature the art located on The Remington Walk on the Ohio Northern University campus. For some viewers, this series is familiar. For others, it may be a first-time experience.
