SCNA Improves Common Ground Community Garden Paths

The Common Ground Community Garden on the corner of 52nd and Newton Ave N was designed in the early 1990’s as a demonstration

raingarden. Over the years the paths were slowly disappearing. SCNA wishes to thank to Peranda Property Services, LLC for their

great work on reinstalling the wide paths for residents to use to more fully enjoy this award winning garden!
