Monroe Street in Bluefield Revitalized by Community Garden Beds
In Bluefield during the late 1800s Monroe Street was a center of activity as the Norfolk and Western Railway arrived and the Pocahontas Division head quarters stood at the Bluefield Inn. Now Dani and John Welke restore a Summers Street home and convert nearby vacant lots into raised gardens built from repurposed furniture and crates to share with neighbors.
