The Valley United Way’s Grow Your Own Garden party 2019 got underway this week with the first garden planting on Central St. Several volunteers including Mayor Dave Cassetti and his staff assisted with garden prepping. 

This is VUW third season of gardening success throughout area towns.

Community gardens have also been setup elsewhere in the city at Gatison Park on Fourth St, Valley YMCA, Pine Lot/Howard Ave (across from Boys & Girls Club) and a debut garden at Salvation Army.

The gardens are open to all city residents who volunteer to plant, maintain and harvest as needed. Anyone interested in becoming a garden volunteer or with related questions can call Yvette Thompson at 203 – 926-9478.

Plant on!
