That garden will really bring some enjoyment and beauty to the neighborhood.
Last night there was an amazing meeting of the First Ward Community Group at the Weed and Seed offices in Bucky Boyle Park to discuss the garden. It seemed as if there were about 50 people there.
Leadership Lehigh Valley has selected this project as its sustainable urban community project, and they discussed what that could mean. In short, they will be helping to make sure we have a garden by May! LLV, thanks for the help!
