Exciting news! The Town Run Back Alley Garden project will be featured in this year’s Shepherdstown Community Club Back Alley Garden Tour.
This recognition highlights the impact of a small but meaningful community space that continues to grow as a model for urban habitat restoration and watershed-friendly landscaping.
A Small Space with Big Impact
The Back Alley Garden demonstrates how even compact areas can:
- Support pollinators and beneficial insects
- Improve urban habitat
- Manage stormwater and protect local waterways
- Connect residents more closely to the Town Run watershed
Through thoughtful design and ongoing care, this space has become both a functional green infrastructure project and a place for community engagement.
