The local Purdue Extension office is inviting you to take part in “Community Garden Rambles.”

Kris Medic, an educator with the office, says that the program offers an opportunity to visit some of the area’s eleven community gardens over the growing season and get updates on crop progress and pest activity.

Medic says that this year’s visits will be held on Saturday mornings, beginning June 18th at 9 a.m. The first visit will be at the Columbus Community Garden at Columbus Municipal Airport on Cessna Drive, just east of Middle Road.

Medic say that other visits are set for:

• July 30 in downtown Columbus;
• August 27 at CSA New Tech High School
