wooden_picnic_tables_blogWe were very fortunate to be a part of creating a new oasis in form of a new community garden called Frog Alley in Delray Beach, FL just a few blocks from where my family and I attend church at St. Paul's on South Swinton Avenue. It was at St. Paul's that I met Jeannie Fernsworth, a passionate advocate of community gardens and the grown locally movement who never misses an opportunity to share her passion for community gardens and to enlist others in her cause to build more of them in Palm Beach County.

I have been inspired by how many people and organizations came together to create this beautiful garden. The Delray Chamber of Commerce got involved and the Delray Garden Center donated labor and materials. The real champions of the project were Pablo de Real and Ashley Moore. Both worked countless hours, coordinated dozens of volunteers, managed the local permitting process and put their backs into the manual work of constructing planting beds, moving soil and more. Pablo is committed to environmental sustainability and improving nutrition in our community and everywhere and puts his passion into action through an organization called Auroras Voice.

Four of us from The Park Catalog helped out, building planting beds for rent to local residents, planting pineapples and other crops, and assembling the furniture we donated to help make this an inviting place for people to come together. Our team is proud to have been a small part of making this garden a reality.
