Opening of Harmony Park Community Garden celebrated in Abbeville

Tue, 07/05/2022 - 8:55am

If planting a seed can grow something beautiful in a garden, creating a garden on a once derelict property can sprout lasting beauty in the community.
That is exactly what organizers of Abbeville’s Harmony Park Community Garden have in mind.
City officials, representatives of multiple organizations, benefactors and volunteers gathered Wednesday morning to cut the ribbon on Harmony Park. The community garden is located at the corner of Lamar Street and Martin Luther King Drive, a property adjudicated to the city in 2008. It is eligible to serve a public purpose.
