2016 THOMPSON’S STATION COMMUNITY GARDEN
The community garden is an organic garden. Organic practices must be used for planting, fertilizers, plant disease management, and pest control. The Thompson’s Station city workers till the soil, mow the lawns, and pump water to a tank from the nearby creek. The rest of the work at the community gardens are done by committed and passionate garden volunteers.
