Adam Prentice of Anarchy in Action prepares recently
constructed gardening beds at the Normal Avenue Community Garden for the
garden’s grand opening May 4. Anarchy in
Action is a volunteer organization that works to involve neighborhoods through
community service and education. The garden, located at the corner of Vermont Street
and Normal Avenue, consists of 14 growing beds that will be used to raise
organic vegetable crops for season-long community use. AIA will open the
gardens to the neighborhood with a planting party, which residents can
attend to learn the tricks of maintaining sustainable gardens on the West Side. By Aaron Garland and Brandon Schlager
