The Winston-Salem Urban League has a delicious, hidden treasure. Downtown on Fifth Street, this treat is nestled between two buildings and concealed by a white wooden fence. It is a thriving garden.Adults in the agency's Senior Program and youth from around the community are planting, pruning, weeding and watering vegetable and fruit plants. And they've got a bumper crop in Better Boy tomatoes, okra and green and banana peppers. Hear from volunteers who are nurturing this community garden as they describe its impact on their lives.
