More Than Just A Garden: The Hansberry Garden and Nature Center

Located at the corner of Hansberry and Wayne Avenues the Hansberry Garden and Nature Center began in 2001 to develop a vision of a community garden and nature center that would serve the Germantown community. Founding and new members speak about the history of the garden, its role in the community and how they are growing more than produce to take home each summer. Jim Bear interviewed members Kathy Miller, Vicki Mehl, David Schogel, Pamela Darville and sons Leonard Jones and George Bryant. Jim Bear is the founder and station manager of G-town Radio. He was previously active in West Philly internet station Radio Volta. Jim and wife Maura have lived in Germantown since 1997. He can be regularly found working in the yard, visiting the Maplewood Mall (home of G-town Radio) or running in Valley Green Park.
