Urban Greening

Berks Nature’s Berks Urban Greening Community Gardening Program transforms vacant lots into healthy green community spaces and gardens.

This provides opportunities for residents to grow their own vegetables, herbs, and flowers. Community gardens are attractive green spaces in urban areas for residents to enjoy. A community garden changes the aesthetics and the spirit of a community.
