Erica Burwell shows Richard Greenwood the summer and zucchini squash she picked Sunday at her plot at the Newbury Street Community Garden in Auburn. About 20 people grow vegetables at the garden on city-owned land, according to garden coordinator John Soldano, standing. “This is a community garden,” says Belinda Gerry, left, an Auburn city councilor. “We may not live on the same street, but we all work, play and garden together. That’s why I support it. The garden is our little haven in the city.” Newbury Street is one of three community gardens in Auburn. Daryn Slover/Sun Journal
