Pictured towards the end of the season is the Red Bud Community Garden, located on Madison Street.
As cooler weather is setting in bringing gardening season to a close, the City of Red Bud wanted to reflect on the growth that the community garden has made in just a few years.
City Administrative Officer Jill Landgraf and Mayor Susan Harbaugh shared some history on the garden.
They noted that back in January 2019, Alderman Bill Hanebutt was approached by a community member about the idea of creating a community garden. The next month, Matt Schaefer presented ideas for the garden to the city’s cultural committee. And in March, the city council approved of the garden.
