Belzoni Community Garden Groundbreaking Event

Though the collaboration of local citizens on the Belzoni Community Garden Committee and the Delta Health Alliances 21st Century Project partnership with the Gorton Clinic to provide primary care for the uninsured, the Belzoni Community Garden has become reality! Come join us for the groundbreaking celebration which will be held Saturday, September 25 from 8 a.m.-12 p.m. at the garden site. The Belzoni Community Garden is located off Highway 49 North between the Dollar General Store and Upper Room Church. It will be a collaboration of citizens working together to stay healthy by growing a variety of nutritious produce on individual sustaining plots. There will be fifteen plots available where families or individuals are encouraged to lease a plot for an annual fee of $40.
