COATESVILLE — Vegetables are not the only thing growing in the Coatesville Victory Gardens this season.

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.
