Home gardens are a great way to grow your own food, stay active, and support positive mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Pete’s Plant Giveaway – May 16

Hello all,

I am a Champlain Park resident (140 Northwestern Ave.) and am familiar to some of you.

We would normally be selling them at local school Elmdale’s Annual Spring event but of course this is not possible this year.
