The Bluffton High School tradition of Seniors painting the street went off without a drop of rain and with many splatters of paint. On May 13 the BHS Class of 2024 spread itself across the stretch of College Ave. between Main and Jackson streets armed with paint, rollers, stencils and even a leaf blower paint dryer.

The spectacle of painting the street drew onlookers including friends and family from multiple generations.

How does the Bluffton Community Garden grow?

Posted by Staff on May 14, 2024 - 8:21am

A Mother’s Day visit to the Bluffton Community Gardens found coordinator Victoria Goddard tending to her own plot in the 9900 S. Main St gardens. Raised 4x8 foot beds and larger plots can be rented at $10/year.

Goddard's last posting on Facebook showed just one raised bed left and a couple of large plots. The deadline for rental is May 18, when cover crops will be put in any unrented plots.

The gardens, which are located down a lane south of Beaver St. on the east side of Main, are owned by the Village of Bluffton. Wells on the property were part of the Village water supply. Now the site provides gardening plots and a Monarch butterfly way station.

The Icon’s visit found herbs and garlic flourishing, some risk-taking tomatoes planted before the May 15 frost-free date and experiments in hay bale planting.
