The Davidson Community Garden is a living (and growing) resource that provides more than vegetables, flowers and produce to local service organizations and those in need. Senior CSD Spartan Sentinel journalist, Callie Hobbs, hosts and takes viewers along for an introduction to one of Davidson, North Carolina’s, most cherished and beloved volunteer driven community projects. She also catches up with Eddie Beach, former CSD swim coach, who is now the garden’s lead volunteer, too.
