ReStore Community Center’s United Way-funded community garden, The Village Garden, is flourishing this season.

Located at 121 S. Johnson St. behind Liberty National Bank, the Village Garden is home to garden plots of 13 community members. They have been working on their plots since they were planted in May.

At 7 p.m.,  Thursday, July 26, the Village Garden will host its third “Garden Party” this season. This event is free and open to the public.

Persons attending may bring their favorite recipes that use cucumbers and tomatoes for a recipe swap. Also, a discussion of basic practices of square foot gardenin will take place.
