Saturday workday for community garden

The Homewood Community Garden is now holding "Second Saturdays" volunteer workdays.

The second one will be held Saturday, July 13 at 8 a.m.

"We plan to mulch the trees along Grace Street, harvest some potatoes and plant watermelon as well as other projects," Garden Coordinator Julie Gentry said.

Gentry encourages volunteers to bring gloves, cardboard and any other tools you might could use and we need all the cardboard we can get.

“This is our first real summer in the garden, and it's going to take a lot of hands to make this work,” Gentry said.

Homewood Community Garden is located at the old Homewood Middle School site at the intersection of Evergreen Avenue and Grace Street.
