WILMINGTON -- Work is underway on a community garden complex in Wilmington’s Portia Mills Hines Park.
The groundbreaking was held Saturday. The project is a joint effort with the city and local businesses.
In August, city council members approved allowing community gardens in city parks.
The gardens are designed to provide people with more access to fresh foods, while serving as a neighborhood gathering space.
The full complex and garden are expected to be finished next year.
