Reservoir Community Garden was initiated about ten years ago by “a bunch of crazy kids” who got permission from the Borough to install a plan drawn up by Adam Supplee, well-known local landscape architect, then on the Green Team board.  Today the garden thrives with more than thirty subscribers paying as they are able and with schools and community organizations lending help. The “Giving Garden” plot, cultivated by a team from Phoenixville Area Transition, supplied more than 200 pounds of produce to Pxv food pantries in 2021.   The Medicinal Herb Garden plot, cultivated by folks from Transition’s Living Landscapes Working Group, supplied tea bags to shelters last winter.  Living Landscapes also hosts popular workshops on using native plants and herbs.
