The Sammamish Arts Commission is planning a celebration to dedicate a new gate installed at the Lower Commons Community Garden.

The city arts group commissioned artist Garth Edwards to design and build the gate. He will be on hand at the ribbon-cutting ceremony to discuss the “inspiration and materials” that went into the portal, according to a city announcement.

The ceremony takes place 8:45 a.m. Sept. 19.

City officials opened the Sammamish Community Garden in May 2013 as a means to allow residents to grow their own produce. It holds 58 plots at 48 square feet each — all of which were full as of August 2015.
