You are invited to a Garden Party at the DeWitt Community Garden this Saturday, September 14th, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. The community garden is a project of Get Healthy DeSoto, and this Saturday, the same day as the De Soto Fall Festival, we will be having a party. We will have free chili, free gifts, and lots of information to give out. The information is about the garden and how it works. There will also be plenty of activity in the garden that day as we clean up and prepare the beds for winter. If you are in the area attending the fall festival, stop by and see us! The garden is just one block North of Arlington Bed & Breakfast.

Get Healthy DeSoto’s annual Christmas Home Tour will be November 30, 2013 this year, from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Advance tickets are $15, and tickets are $18 the day of the event.
