*More information about Millet & the Verona Community Garden: 2023 was designated as the International Year of Millets by the United National Food and Agriculture Organization, to acknowledge the importance of this food crop to peoples around the globe.  This year, we grew two types of millet at the Verona Community Garden.  Join us at the Verona Community Picnic this Saturday, September 23rd, 3:30 to 4pm, to learn about this grain and participate in a hands-on demo of processing the millet after harvest.

NOTE: Unfortunately, we've decided to skip the chili contest this year while the Pavilion undergoes some renovations that are required by the health dept. Thanks for your understanding - we are bummed but hope to bring it back next year!
