FLORENCE-Interested in gardening? Want to grow vegetables for yourself, your family or your neighbors, but don’t have the space to do so?
The public is invited to the Florence/Lauderdale Tourism Office & Visitor Center located in McFarland Park in Florence on Saturday, April 11, at 1 p.m.for a free presentation on the efforts made at the Florence Community Garden by Chris Becker of the Lauderdale County Extension Office and his team of Master Gardeners. The

garden opened last year and is located next to the Lauderdale County Extension Office on Veterans Drive.
The purpose of the garden is to promote locally-grown food and self-sustainability in a community-oriented effort. The garden offers 46 raised beds for the public which were made available through a cooperative effort between businesses and agencies in the Shoals that helped with finances and labor.
