This cache is placed as a reminder of the GC8HJJD Community Celebration Event- Buchanan County, Iowa on Sunday, May 3, 2020. Watch for more geocaches to seek before and after the event.
This cache will bring you to the Community Gardens of Independence, Iowa. You will find this large cache planted in a raised garden bed. MeToo1865 has rented this garden bed for many years. If you see someone weeding the bed as you approach, say hi, it is probably MeToo1865.
Vegetables in the raised beds should not be picked, as these are individuals' gardens. But if you are hungry, the orchard to the south of the garden beds is for anyone to pick. There are apples, pears, peaches, and cherries available to prepare you for more geocaching fun (if ripe).
