Victory Garden marks 80th year

A Minneapolis garden established in the 40’s as a victory garden, is still playing a significant role in the Longfellow community. In fact, it’s one of two remaining victory gardens still in use today. Today there are 190 plots and more than 250 gardeners, including a waitlist to get a spot, and that’s something to celebrate. The Dowling Community Garden volunteers are hosting a party on Saturday August 19th from 11am to 2pm. The sprawling garden is located at 46th Avenue and 39th Street S.
