Harvesting underway at local Victory Garden – volunteers still needed to help

Our publisher Mike McCool met with Fern Vasquez and three local organizations that benefit from the CHEO Victory Garden, located at the corner of Criser Road and Luray Avenue in Front Royal.

In this video, Larry Elliott, C-CAP, Jeanne Jackson, Loaves & Fishes Food Pantry, and Lt Michael Fadler, Salvation Army, highlight the benefit they have received from the CHEO Victory Garden project.

Community gardens help everyone of all ages to come together, participate, contribute, and get a sense of pride in helping one another. It’s also a great teaching tool for your children. Catch up on the CHEO Victory Garden in these Royal Examiner stories:
