Madison Square Garden is now open.

What began as imagination almost two years ago is now the new Unity Garden, at the corner of Madison and Walsh streets on South Bend's near east side.

So far, we've planted the tomatoes, peppers, squash, cucumbers and corn.

I forgot -- and the beans, and some onions.

But there's plenty more planting to do, especially with all the rain this spring.

Volunteer times are 9 a.m. to noon on Saturdays and 4 to 7 p.m. on Sundays.

If you just want to visit, stop by and check it out.
