Dozens of Westporters of all ages flocked to the Community Gardens yesterday.
Gardeners, artists and art-lovers alike celebrated the Gardens’ 20th anniversary with an “Art in the Gardens” event.
In collaboration with the Artists Collective of Westport, they created art in the 100-plot garden itself, and the adjoining Long Lots Preserve.
Community Gardens director Lou Weinberg calls it “a smashing success. People seeing this for the first time really get that ‘Oh, wow!’ reaction.
“It’s a pleasure to show them what we’ve created here. We are proud to share these 2 fabric-of-the-community, environmental and educational assets.”
Next up: a Westport Community Gardens pop-up (August 27, 1 p.m.).

Community Gardens members Pam Barkentin and Karen LaCosta coordinated the event, with help from Miggs Burroughs of the Westport Artists Collective.
