The Community Garden(s)

Would it be the community garden or the community gardens? There is more than one gardening plot that is here!

What you are looking at is a picture of the community garden that's located right inside of LaMott! It is a block away from Penrose Avenue and is located (on one side) at the 1800 block of Graham Lane. It is a block long and most of the gardening plots are used by the residents but there are some students from Temple University that also use it. As long as I have lived here there have been issues with the garden such as people coming from as far away as New Jersy to use one of the plots.

But of the people that do have plots there they are quite friendly for the most part. A lot of them love gardening just for the love of gardening.

If you are a resident and are interested in getting a gardening plot there the best thing to do would be to ask one of the gardeners about who to contact in order to get one of the plots. It doesn't cost you anything to have one of the plots BUT you do have to agree to the upkeep and maintenance of your gardening plot.

According to what I have heard the area is owned by Temple University and they have a campus located just across the street
