George Eagle Carr Community Garden

Description

The George Eagle Carr Community Garden was founded in the late '80s. It now has 12 beds tended by 15 gardeners who grow okra, carrots, peppers, tomatoes and a variety of greens and other produce. A prolific peach tree garners admiring glances from passersby, and members here, as at other gardens, have a long-standing tradition of sharing food with local residents. Wednesdays in the garden are specifically reserved for senior citizens in the neighborhood.
