Plant Sale Time is Here!
April 28 (Saturday) Our Saviour Community Garden, 1616 N Jim Miller Rd

Come celebrate the day with GICD (Gardeners in Community Development) and local community gardeners by buying bedding plants, herbs, flowers, vegetables and anything else GICD can grow or get donated for this fundraiser.
