Tour Central's Garden this Wednesday


 
Have you been watching the Central Library's new organic garden grow (either in person or online)?

Stop outside Central's east doors on Wednesday, June 30 at 10 a.m., and meet some of the folks who made this great community project happen. They'll be giving a "tour" of the flourishing crops to some special guests, and all of our Library users are welcome.

Food from the garden has already been donated to Arlington Food Assistance Center families.
