Fort Braden Community Garden – 11-11:30am
 Fort Braden Community Garden is located west of Tallahassee off Highway 20 behind the Fort Braden Library.  This community garden is on an old farm site that is owned by Leon County.  The county generously provided the fencing and water spigots to each site.  The garden contains 40 plots for lease on an annual basis.  The garden also has a fruit orchard, bee hives, blue bird and purple martin and bat houses.  Gardeners meet monthly for workdays on the garden common areas and to learn and share with each other.  Some of the excess produce is donated to area organizations.  See the website for additional information: http://www.fortbradengarden.com/
