Announcements, August 6, 2010
1. This week at the Urban Garden Market:
At
the Urban Garden Market, you can buy fresh produce direct from
producers in a friendly, open-air environment. The Market also provides
an opportunity for backyard gardeners and small farmers to sell their
crops to our local community. If your tomato or zucchini plants have
produced more than you can use or preserve, contact the Market Manager
(232-7081) about becoming a vendor.

After two
weekends with rain, the weather forecast for this Saturday is great and
we expect lots of fresh and delicious produce to be available for sale.
Stop by this Saturday, between 9 am and 1 pm. If you haven't yet
visited the Market, we're located on South Bend's West Side — on the
west side of Bendix Avenue, just south of Lincoln Way West.
