The Lilburn City Council recently approved the 2019 lease between the city and the Lilburn Community Garden for another three years for $1. The Lilburn Community Garden initially entered into a three-year lease with the city beginning in 2013, which was renewed in 2016.

The Community Garden, located at 66 Camp Creek Drive Southwest, offers members the ability to rent a garden bed for a year to grow vegetables, fruit or flowers. During the growing season (April - October) the garden offers gardening classes for beginners and experienced gardeners on select Saturdays.

Members are encouraged to donate any excess produce to the Lilburn Co-op. The Community Garden Board maintains one bed exclusively for the Co-Op.

Information: www.lilburncommunitygarden.org. To inquire about available beds, contact lilburncommunitygarden@hotmail.com.

Donald Trump's administration deployed the military to Washington, D.C., in the name of fighting crime, and in an Aug. 11 news conference he mentioned the possibility of military being sent to other large American cities, all of which are led by Black, Democratic mayors. And while Atlanta wasn't included in Trump's list, the city fits that profile under Mayor Andre Dickens. (Photo Illustration: Philip Robibero / AJC | Source: Getty)
