The Greenway

Spring is coming and it’s time to start thinking about gardening. The Western Avenue Greenway has 9 x 11 organic garden plots available in April for your very own vegetable garden. The entire garden will be tilled in early April and water will be available through the summer at the site.

For information, call Martha Willi at 309-674-4500 or email her at willimartha@hotmail.com.
