7/18/14: For the past 21 years, artist Bonnie Acker has tended the lush gardens at Burlington’s City Market, Onion River Co-op – first at their former North Winooski Avenue location and now at their downtown location on South Winooski Ave. Eva stopped by on a busy Friday morning to watch Bonnie in action watering the 12 garden areas sprinkled amongst the parking lot and greeting the many shoppers and friends who appreciate this burst of color in the heart of the city.
Music: La Strada, “Loved You All Along”

I LOVE BONNIE and also I LOVE EVA! This is such a great episode, thank you. We need the GOOD news about what’s going on in the world (and Burlington) more than ever these days. XO
Bonnie is the definition of a community activist and spreads positive energy wherever she goes. Thank you for recognizing her.
