ROCKY RIVER, Ohio – Rocky River Community Garden achieved a milestone of 10-plus years of growth and service in the city.
Established in 2009, the garden evolved after Mayor Pam Bobst hosted a public meeting to assess interest in developing a community garden behind the Rocky River Senior Center.
The 2021 Lakewood Run celebrates its 30th anniversary when it kicks off virtually on Saturday, March 6, 2021.
