The Ledyard Garden Club recently donated $300 to The Arc New London County to help the group purchase a greenhouse for its farmstand in Ledyard. The greenhouse will allow the farmstand to start plants earlier and grow cold-weather crops later in the season.

The program provides job and vocational training for men and women with intellectual and developmental disabilities through growing, harvesting and selling its produce. Last year, the farmstand also debuted a community-supported agriculture program, which will continue this season.

For more information, visit thearcnlc.org. The farmstand is on Route 117 in Ledyard.
