A few steps to the north of the Teton County Fairgrounds building in Driggs, thereâs a scraggly patch of ground. One corner is edged by pines, and the southern edge plays host to a ragtag line of shrubs, just beginning to muster up buds to greet the warmer weather. In some places the fence seems sturdy, while in others, it has certainly seen better days. Skeletal remains of bull thistles stand as tribute to past seasons of neglect.
While it doesnât look like much now, this swath of fallow ground has an exciting future: it will be revived into a vibrant community garden that will enrich the valley in a variety of ways.
