MAY 9 FACEBOOK__Bluffton's Community Garden has just 3 large plots and 4 raised bed plots left for the 2025 season.

If you've ever wanted to grow some big sprawling watermelon, or pumpkin vines, or maybe you've wanted to grow a large batch of tomatoes & peppers for canning, or an even bigger batch flowers for lots of flower arrangements, then renting a plot at the Community Garden may be the solution.

Contact us if you want to garden in a full sun location. When they are booked, that's it until 2026.

At the May 9 Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce meeting I talked with someone who regretted not tuning into the Icon more often. Friend, this list is for you! These are the April 2025 articles that I find have special and lasting local interest.

Icon readers, if this is a feature you'd like to see on a regular basis, I welcome your feedback. Email [email protected] or let me know next time I see you.
