3/27/13 - A group that operates a community garden in Milford will be springing into action in the coming months. Growing Greens garden is located at General Motors and Milford Road, adjacent to the bike trail and Huron River. The property is owned by the Huron-Clinton Metropolitan Authority but leased to the Village of Milford. The Village Council recently voted to allow the group to continue using the land until October of 2015. The group was formed to foster a sense of community through gardening while growing healthy food for families and neighbors but also to involve and educate children about healthy eating. A portion of the garden is designated to growing produce for a community sharing garden that helps area families in need. New signage, flowers, birdhouses and a welcoming area are planned for the garden. Volunteers are always needed and the group has scheduled upcoming spring work days in May. A link to more information about the groupâs efforts can be found below. (JM)
