Gardens now open for public picking


The Victory Gardens near Marion-Crittenden County Park are now open for public picking and gathering.

Garden spokesman Robbie Kirk said there will be no further distribution days from produce yielded by the gardens.

"The gate near Shopko will be open and anyone can go in there and pick what they need," Kirk said.

The gardens have a good number of green peppers and some beans and tomatoes left, Kirk said.

"We have about 400 to 500 pepper plants and they're full," he explained.
