Through the summer months and continuing in the fall, Statesboro green-thumbs can join together for a project to beautify the city and nourish its residents. Volunteers representing Keep Bulloch Beautiful, the Statesboro-Bulloch County Food Bank, Georgia Southern University, Statesboro Farmer's Market, and a local Boy Scout troop gathered Saturday to construct and open to the public a community garden benefiting local growers and the county's food bank. Workers broke ground on the garden, which is located at the old Sallie Zetterower Elementary School - 900 East Jones Avenue - and current location of the food bank, after one year of planning by Keep Bulloch Beautiful Director Kelly Collingsworth.
