Welcome

Lackawanna County Commissioners Mike Washo and Corey O'Brien, and State Rep. Jim Wanzsac led a delegation of AAJRB volunteers, municipal officials and project sponsors as ground was broken in late April for the Abington Community Garden.

The initial selection of garden plots and sections still available can be seen by clicking on this link:

This 2 acre section of former farmland will once again supply local families with produce and even flowers by this spring & summer.  A Community Garden project organized by the Abington Area Join Recreation Board will give local families the opportunity to rent sections of the garden, and participate in joint cultivation, planting and watering strategies.

It is very inexpensive to lease a graden site, which will be cultivated, fenced-in and supplied with water.  For more information about how to join in the Community Garden effort, please call a member municipality or contact the AAJRB via the 'Contact' section of this site. Or you can email the Community Garden Coordinator, Barbara Grabfelder:   kbgrabs@msn.com
