Community Garden Takes Root In Clifford

Plans are going forward for a community garden in Clifford.

Minto has agreed to pay a main street business $500 a year for use of an adjacent vacant lot.

Minto earlier established a community garden in Harriston which has been very successful.

“We’ve got a lot of good people helping, including the horticultural society in Clifford and the Rotary Club,” says Minto Mayor George Bridge.
