This Saturday, I got a very special tour of an abounding community
garden in the 35222 area. MPower Community
Garden is a partnership between gardener Don Ehrett, his wife Missy, the
neighborhood residents including Freshfully, Avondale Brewery, Red Mountain Community School, and MPower Ministries.
