POTTSTOWN, PA — The local community garden will show how easy vegetable crops can go from the ground to the dining table.

The party will include music, resources on healthy living and fresh vegetables from the garden.
“We are going to do a healthy garden to grill event,” said Laura Washington, garden manager.

NANTICOKE, PA – Rebecca Seman wants to see the Nanticoke area community growing.
Mainly vegetables, but she’d like to see people grow some flowers, too.
About a month ago, Seman started the Greater Nanticoke Area Community Garden initiative with the idea of getting area residents interested in sustainable farming. She also wants to organize events to improve the community, including a cleanup and flower-planting at Patriot Square Park this Saturday.
“It’s just something I’ve kind of always wanted to do,” Seman said. “Lately I’ve seen a lot of places around the country are trying to become more sustainable. I’d like to see that in Nanticoke.”

CONSHOHOCKEN, PA — Hey Conshy, how does your garden grow?
Last spring, while the rest of us were procrastinating on that mythical vegetable garden we swore we’d finally get around to planting, those early birds at the Conshohocken Community Garden were busy tilling the organically fertilized soil and getting their cucumber seeds and tomato plants into the earth where they needed to be.
And now they’re reaping the harvest.
Practically everything’s growing like crazy here at 411 E. Elm Street — c’mon, cantaloupes, what’re you waiting for? — on what was for decades an eyesore of a vacant lot.
