Falls Village vegetable garden in full bloom

FALLS VILLAGE — On any given Wednesday afternoon in July and August, visitors to the David M. Hunt Library will find youngsters busy in the library’s vegetable garden.

On Wednesday, Aug. 14, Assistant Director and Youth Programming Coordinator Brittany Spear-Baron was accompanied by Jesper, age 6, and 4-year-old Kaya Cornehlsen and their mother Tamara, who live in Massachusetts but spend a lot of time visiting the grandparents in Falls Village.

Sun hats firmly in place, the children charged into the roughly 22 x 30 foot enclosure and started eagerly investigating the four rows of plants, finding tomatoes and peppers that were ready to go.
