Do you love to garden but don't have the room at your house? Most city's/towns in your local Boone Co. area have a community garden! For a small fee you can rent space for our own garden for the season. Remember every community garden has its own set fees and rules. Check out your local Parks Department for more details. If you live in Whitestown or near by their Parks Department still has a few open plots for this season.
There are still a few garden plots available. Get yours before it's too late!
