Eight to 12 plots coming soon to Eagle Scout Park.
Lemuel Mandell prepared gardeners for growing during the summer heat during a recent Dunedin Community Garden Association meeting. “We can grow in Florida all year round — just not the same thing all year round,” Mandell of Dunedin said. “We can grow tomatoes in the spring, kale and bok choy in the winter, but must switch to plants that can handle the heat and moisture of the summer.” The Garden Association is preparing gardeners at Eagle Scout Park for more summer growth.
