A new community garden will be developed in Grand Boulevard through a City-owned land sale approved today by City Council.

The 6,200-square-foot site at 4200 S. Vincennes Ave. will be sold for $1 to the NeighborSpace land trust, which will preserve the property for use by the 400 East Block Club and local residents.

Construction plans call for raised plant beds to accommodate a variety of shade-tolerant plants and herbs, as well as bird houses and bird feeders.
