A non-profit organization works to plant free community gardens in Ocala, creating an edible landscape.

The project will renovate the city’s original gazebo and will add a stage area, an additional plaza and a newly designed, less slippery star pattern made of bricks to the center of the square. Construction began June 10, and it is still in the works.
