Miltonvale Park & Milton Community Hall – Events – September 15, 2023

The Miltonvale Community Park - The upper part of the garden was planted by the summer students, and when the bountiful crop of tomatoes ripen, and or any other vegetables ONLY in the section that has the black weed barrier, people can help themselves to them.
