& Now
This is the same site today. On the left side of the community garden, filming was taking place last weekend of the third in a series of three healthy heart videos for Follow the 50, featuring Ruby (Alison Stewart). On the right is the garden shed being built in time for the dedication of the Dr. Robert R. Johnston Community Garden (at Rhodesville) June 21. The community garden space was funded by a $20,000 grant from the Urban Garden & Open Space, through the state's Department of Environmental and Energy Protection plus $11,000 of "in-kind" donations.
