Community Garden Update:
Thanks to the support of our generous patrons, year one of our Community Garden has been a great success! Interested in trying a taste of what we've grown? Just inside the library, you'll find our Forsyth Community Garden table. There, we share everything from our garden as well as invite other gardeners to bring in any extras they might have. Over the last week, we've given away peaches, cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, basil, chives, mint and more. We invite you to stop in and get a taste of our Community Garden goodness!
