Helen Miller, of Wilder, smells a bunch of mint she picked for tea after weeding her plot in the White River Community Garden at Ratcliffe Park in White River Junction, Vt., Tuesday, June 15, 2021. “I just love to go out to the garden, get something to eat and serve it right away,” said Miller. “The flavor just decreases when it goes in the fridge. If you can get it right out of the garden, you’ve got it made in the shade.” (Valley News - James M. Patterson) Copyright Valley News. May not be reprinted or used online without permission.
