COATESVILLE — Vegetables are not the only thing growing in the Coatesville Victory Gardens this season.
Among the tomatoes, beans and lettuce of the community plot, gardening knowledge and camaraderie have also sprouted among members of Coatesville Victory Gardens.
Local green thumbs, and a few brown ones, joined forces earlier this year to establish a community garden aimed at providing fresh, organic and nutritious food to city residents.
"I have always been impressed with the CSAs (community-supported agriculture) in downtown Philadelphia and I was interested in trying the same thing here in Coatesville," said Keith Gargus, one of the founding members of the organization.
