Volunteers work together to prepare, plant, and maintain the plants and general upkeep of the area," shared Anne Bacher, a member of the Ambridge Area Garden Club member and 10th Street Garden coordinator.
In return, volunteers are welcome to share in whatever produce there is, added Bacher
"The roads should be lined with gardens. Tomatoes and potatoes for everyone," shared Phil McCaffrey, who is on a mission to start a community pumpkin patch.
“I think food should be free. It is easy to grow abundant food,” McCaffrey said. “We all grow grass....The borough grows trees, but no fruit.”
If you would like to participate with the community garden on 10th street contact Bacher at 724-385-0895.
