Nazareth Sisters of Charity host 50 garden plots

The Community Garden on the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth Campus is flourishing as approximately 40 gardeners tend to over 50 plots. Robbie Smith, Nelson County extension agent for horticulture, led a meeting at the beginning of the season to offer helpful tips for planting a garden, which vegetables to plant early in the season and which later, mulching and watering, and many other ideas to be successful gardeners. The garden has pathways, fencing, a water source, a message board from Master Gardeners offering tips, a compost corner and benches.
