Can you tell that ReStore is busy this summer.
“We are reaching out into the community, trying to do what the community needs,” said Dana Walters, executive director. “We are not just being in ReStore but being out there helping with other events, outside our four walls.”

Community Garden: Just off Main Street, 12 gardeners are working together to create an oasis of flowers, fruits and vegetables. “All the gardeners are very cooperative in helping weed and watching over each other’s gardens,” says Karen Ward, one of the three garden coordinators with Melissa Eddings and Beth Gray.
Future plans may include a mural, capturing the garden’s energy in art. Participate in the garden or donate to its efforts. Checks can be made out to ReStore, earmarked to Community Garden.
