Community Garden – “Just a reminder as spring approaches, we in Marion have a community garden. There is both a Facebook page and a regular web site for those who aren’t on Facebook. Really hoping 2020 can be the year of putting the “community” in Community Garden. We already have 7 rows of potatoes, onions, tulips, garlic, strawberries, peas and asparagus planted as well as a 2nd year Fig tree and new plum, apple, and cherry trees. The handicap accessible area is in the works as well.” – David Corbett, Community Gardens. Find out more at https:// www.cccgardens.com/.
