Annual Garden Tour!

Residents are invited to explore some of Haddon Township’s most carefully tended green spaces May 31, when the township hosts its fourth community garden tour from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., rain or shine. The free, self-guided event features 10 private yards plus the municipal native gardens, with maps available at the Municipal Building and on Facebook at 2026 Haddon Township Garden Tour. Donations are accepted, with all funds supporting Haddon Township’s municipal gardens.

What's in my bag? (And wait, what *is* my bag?)
