On May 10, a group of Canadian Armed Forces personnel from Station Leitrim helped haul soil and create the garden\u2019s foundation. When everything\u2019s planted and growing, the garden will feature fruit trees, vegetables, flowers, and other produce. According to library CAO Isabelle Camir\u00e9, it should be ready to plant in as early as next week.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:2,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559731&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">The Library Community Garden will provide opportunities for people to learn how to care for the earth and themselves by growing healthy, local food. Volunteers will plant and maintain the garden throughout the season, and fresh produce will be donated weekly to the Good Neighbour\u2019s Food Bank.
