Mid-Summer Harvest Festival at the Community Garden Today

Radcliff, KY · July 18, 2026

Saturday morning drizzle isn't stopping the harvest. If you're heading toward the community garden today, bring a pair of gloves and an appetite for the first real haul of the season.

📰 The Lead

The Radcliff Community Garden is the place to be this morning as the annual Mid-Summer Harvest Festival kicks off at 9:00 AM. This isn't just about picking vegetables; it’s a celebration of the "Grow Your Own" initiative that has seen a significant increase in plot rentals this year. Volunteers have spent the last 24 hours prepping the grounds for a day of demonstrations on canning, composting, and sustainable pest control. For many residents, these plots provided the first fresh produce of the season during a particularly dry start to the summer. Today’s event includes a "biggest zucchini" contest and a seed swap for those already planning their fall greens. Even if you don't have a green thumb, the local honey vendors and live acoustic music make it a worthwhile stop. The festival wraps up by early afternoon.
