URBANA -- A garden serves up smiles throughout Champaign County. It all starts in Our Town Urbana.

The Hospice Volunteer Garden is in Meadowbrook Park. Carle Hospice planted it in March.

Now, volunteers care for it. Each week, they water the flowers and arrange bouquets in vases. Those are then delivered to hospice patients.

To volunteer:
