WORCESTER — Despite the city’s flower beds being entombed in a frozen crust, the Indian Lake Community Association is looking forward to start phase one of its “Community Teaching Garden Literacy Project.”
The association was planning to complete phase one Saturday, Feb. 13, but Mother Nature had other plans. They are now shooting for March 13, the one year anniversary of the Commonwealth-wide shutdown due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The site of the garden will be on West Boylston Drive on the parcel of land that was part of the West Boylston Drive Barrier Wall replacement project, Carl Gomes, president of the Indian Lake Community Association Inc., said.
