Tour community gardens Saturday

The third annual Community Gardens Tour will be on Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Eleven gardens will be on display this year, all of which create a sense of community and connection to the environment.

Spruce St.; corner of North Hemlock Street and West Fairview Avenue; East Central Community Garden, at South Ray Street and East Hartson Avenue; Pumphouse Community Garden, East Hoffman Avenue and North Crestline Street; Commons Community, Garden, East Lamonte Street and 33rd Avenue; Avista Community Garden, 1631 E.
