Urban Gardening:Find A Community Garden Near You
If you have the desire to grow vegetables or flowers, but don’t know how to get started, why not join a Community Garden? Community Gardens have popped up all over the Lehigh Valley: Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton, Nazareth, Whitehall, Emmaus and Macungie.
This is a great way to get started, especially if you don’t have a piece of ground of your own. Plus, you can work with mentors, attend classes and camps and meet some fellow gardeners in the process. All you really need is a little spare time, the desire to learn and no fear of getting your fingernails dirty.
Some of the Community Gardens are located in urban areas, created for children and were designed by Penn State Master Gardeners. The gardens provide fresh food for the neighborhood, create an appreciation for the Earth, teach Biology in action, and skills which can’t be learned anywhere but in a garden. There’s so much to be learned when digging the earth, planting a seed, and nurturing a plant to its maturity.
