An un-beet-able community garden sprouts in Marion

MARION — In an unsuspecting corner of Marion where produce was never meant to grow, fresh vegetables now sprout across a half-acre of land and 10 garden beds — each cared for by Marion residents. The half-acre of land is nestled behind the Marion Council on Aging, located at 465 Mill Street. With solid rocks buried as deep as six feet beneath the soil, the ground was inhospitable to new plant growth.
