It’s that time of year! The North Ridgeville Community Garden is currently accepting registrations for the upcoming season. The garden is located along Chestnut Ridge Road across from Alternate State Route 83 (near the exit at Ohio 10).
Deadline to register for a plot at the North Ridgeville Community Garden is May 15.
Applications for North Ridgeville residents are currently being accepted through May 15 for the Community Garden.
Things may be a bit tricky this year as construction will soon begin on the new roundabout in that area. A temporary drive and parking will be provided on the west side of the project along Chestnut Ridge Road for access to the Community Garden. When the project is completed, a drive and parking area on the north side of the roundabout will provide access to the Community Garden.

Dwindling membership is an issue many veteran organizations are facing statewide and those nestled in Western Maine have not been immune.
Several members of Mundt-Allen American Legion Post 81 in Bethel gathered at the local airport to discuss issues facing the American Legion. A big problem, and one that has plagued organizations nationwide, is building and maintaining membership. Once enjoying more than 100 active members, Post 81 is now at 66. The decline has occurred over 20 years.
