Volunteers are needed Thursday, May 19, at 4 p.m. to help plant Ohio Northern University’s third annual vegetable garden.
First Lady DiBiasio said the harvest from the eight raised beds will go toward the community meal program hosted by ReStore and to the local food bank.
The beds are located at Affinity Commons, on Polar Bear Way near West Lima Avenue.
“We will be planting vegetables they can use: tomatoes, lettuce, carrots, squashes, pretty basic kitchen garden stuff,” said the First Lady.
