An idea conceived and nourished by Kurt and Gretchen Schulz, among others, is moving ahead with fanfare.

The project had its official groundbreaking over the weekend, with many city officials and residents attending.

Snellville Patch received photos today via Gail Moore, a Patch freelancer. The photos were taken by Ileen Meggison, one of the master gardeners on the garden's committee. See them attached. (Feel free to add your own photos from the event if you were there.)

If you would like to get involved, or learn more about the community garden, the group now has a Facebook page.
