Williamsburg United Methodist Church is hosting a Guns to Gardens event on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. where community members can turn in unwanted guns to be dismantled and forged into gardening tools and artwork as an effort to combat gun violence and provide a healing experience. The event, held at 500 Jamestown Road, is a partnership with the James River Chapter of the Virginia Interfaith Center for Public Policy and is based on a project by the faith-based organization RAWtools. Firearms must be unloaded and no ammunition is accepted; donations are anonymous but require the owner to be present for dismantling, with no transfer of ownership.
