There are several cool gardens along Shippensburg's back alleys which I like to watch progress through the growing season, and now is about the time when they hit their peak. There's a vegetable garden featuring Sunflowers raised for their seeds out back behind the Church of the Nazarene, and there's a gorgeous little garden just up Lutz Ave. from Memorial Lutheran that mixes flowers, veggies, and fruits (i.e. grapes). Plus some flower plantings along the way that caught my attention. Take a look!

| A BIG Sunflower in the Nazarene garden; that one will yield lots of seeds! |

 |
| Grape vines are grown as a sort of screen along the street side of the garden; looks like there's a good crop of grapes coming this year. |
 |
| And here's the vegetable part of that garden. I'll bet the eating is good at that house! |

| And another garden with plenty of perennials, which are good, low maintenance beauties |
