Community Gardens Are Ripe For Picking
Cedarbrook Community Gardens in South Whitehall are thriving in the summer heat.

The 114 garden plots at Cedarbrook Community Gardens are all rented.
Treichler, a retired foundry worker, recently won an award for his well-tended garden.
He grows tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, scallions, string beans, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli and carrots.
