The 18th Ward Community Garden, located at 1040 Liggett Ave in Reading, has become a vibrant hub for urban gardening, thanks to the dedication of local community members. This project was highlighted in a recent live video interview between Tanya Melendez, the garden’s founder, and Kylie Paulson, a student in Dr. Radosh’s broadcasting class at Alvernia University. The conversation shed light on how the garden has transformed a once-unused plot of land into a thriving space that provides fresh produce, engagement, and education to the neighborhood.
