A hat tip to Schroon’s Dollar General for setting up a collection area for the Schroon Lake Food Pantry and the Schroon Lake Senior Center. Just another reason why our town is so special.
A Garden Regrows In Schroon
/
A former eye sore in the middle of town will once again be transformed into an oasis of vegetables and flowers, with the 2nd Annual Schroon Lake Community Garden set for re-planting next month.
Three new raised beds have been added to the garden -- between the Higher Ground Coffee Shop and the Glens Falls Bank -- bringing the number of adoptable plots to 22.
As of Monday afternoon, only 5 plots were left for adopting, organizer Sharon Piper told Schroon Laker.
“The Garden was a huge success last year. We had a waiting list of folks who missed out who were able to adopt a bed this year,” Sharon said.
Besides beautifying the once drab, weed strewn vacant lot, the garden provided real benefits to individuals and the local Food Bank.
“Folks grew veggies for themselves and the Lions Club took out pounds of fresh produce for the Food Bank”.
