In a community where some yards are only big enough to plant a few begonias and pansies - perhaps even a sunflower or two - the idea of planting a big vegetable garden may feel like something of the past that your Grandmother and Grandfather did. However, in an effort to help build a strong community of fellowship and to just be plain neighborly, the city of LaVergne’s Parks and Recreation Department is sponsoring a community garden.

The site selected is next to the town’s senior citizen center at 337 Stones River Road. The first work day was held on April 17th where volunteers planted vegetables like cabbage, beans, and more. Future workdays are anticipated throughout the summer for weeding, watering, and more.

As the garden becomes successful, residents are hopeful that other gardens will be planted throughout the town. For more information, contact the Parks and Recreation Department at 793-3224.
