The Esther Gallow Memorial Community Garden will unite children and seniors along with members of the community that will plant and harvest fruits and vegetables. As Monroe Chamber President Roy Heatherly commented, “This community garden symbolizes what is going on in Monroe today. A garden is a diverse being in and of itself with different plants growing, from seed to harvest. In much the same way, Monroe is working to build stronger relationships between businesses, schools and the community through beautiful concepts like this.” Citizens from all over our community are invited to participate in the Annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service on January 17th to fill planters built by the ULM Construction Department, prepare walking paths, and place signs at the garden located at the lot across from 1401 Sherrouse St. in Monroe.
