Nearly 200 community members enjoyed the event, which involved a ribbon cutting ceremony, live music, and activities.

Community members were heavily involved in the creation of this P-Patch, contributing more than 2,000 hours of volunteer time. The garden has 36 plots, and all those who volunteered and wanted a plot were able to get one. DoN invested $150,000 from the Parks & Green Spaces Levy toward construction of the community garden.
