The Ron Ory Community Garden Plots are slated for a renovation. At Thursday’s Naperville Park Board meeting, a new master plan was unveiled for the site, located at 811 S. West Street. Renovations will include more raised garden beds, signage kiosks, more compost/manure locations, additional pollinator gardens, a section for organic gardening and a no till garden area. There will also be restroom enclosures, a paved parking area, three 10-foot by 10-foot metal shade structures with seating, and also additional seating by most water spigots.. The nearly $1.2 million three-phase plan was made after getting community feedback through online surveys and open houses. The new plan goes to the Park District Board of Commissioners for consideration at the Aug. 11 board meeting.

This week was the end of the road for one of the Naperville men on ABC’s “The Bachelorette.” On Monday’s episode, 28-year-old Termayne Harper rejected a rose presented by Rachel Recchia, as he felt a stronger connection with the second bachelorette, Gabby Windey. But when a rose from Windey didn’t come, he was sent home. Mario Vassall, 31, the second man from Naperville on the show, is still in the competition.
