May 2021 Garden Update

It’s a new season at 4th Street Farms!  If you haven’t visited in a while, come by and see all the recent additions.  Not only are spring fruits and veggies ripening around the garden, but we also built a brand-new raised bed and transplanted the mural from the stage at Godman Guild.  With an inviting new flagstone entrance path plus a picnic table in the shade of the fruit trees, we’re hoping the garden will be a space not just for growing and harvesting food but a place where neighbors will gather and share.  Come out and see the changes for yourselves.  Continue reading May 2021 Garden Update
