Sitka Community Gardens announces its long-awaited groundbreaking 1-1:30 p.m. Saturday, May 17, at the upper end of Jarvis Street.
All are invited to attend to learn more about the planned garden and membership structure, and to sign up for a plot. Volunteers are needed to help with the initial construction phase of the garden, which will begin immediately, organizers said.
