A colorful gate to a community garden catches the morning sun in the Elysian Valley’s Frogtown neighborhood. Just a block or two from the river, this is one of the nicest community gardens I’ve ever stumbled across. Everything is very neatly arranged and tidy, with a well-maintained brick path leading past a variety of fruit trees and other useful plantings. The residents obviously take great pride in their little patch of shared earth.
Incidentally, if you’re a gardener, community or otherwise, check out my friend Hilda Brucker’s new Gardening blog for Gadabout Media. It’s a high-quality site offering expert info and tips.
