And then there were gardens!

The Community Gardens made great progress on Saturday, that large step from a dream to reality happened! Over 40 folks participated, overcoming some minor obstacles (re-charging handheld tools, and a hail storm) to put together the 46 garden beds.

Time lapse photos shows the progress during the course of the day (photos every 30 seconds)




Julie Balise from the Milford Daily News came back to gather info for her story:

Master gardener, Chris Clay wrote about the success on his blog (the source of the time lapse photos)

What's next?
If you want to plant and garden on one of the beds, sign up for the lottery before the drawing on May 23.

Thanks to all, the hard work is done.
