In honor of Earth Day, the Illinois Farm Service Agency held a tree planting event to commemorate the People’s Community Garden.
Ground was broken and plowed and a 15-foot flowering pear tree, donated by Knob Hill Nursery & Landscaping, was planted in the southeast corner.
The garden’s partners include USDA Risk Management; Farm Credit Services; Brandt Consolidated; University of Illinois Extension Master Gardener; and landowners Monte and Jay Siegrest.
