Te Sullivan’s garden, though
it was pretty sparse the day of the interview, goes through three different planting seasons: spring, summer and fall, depending on the vegetables.

community garden, which a group of about 60 residents is working to make happen. Jacqueline Gowe, a reader of the Daniel Island News, won the newspaper’s competition in the spring of 2012 on ways to en- hance the Daniel Island community.
