ROMNEY URBAN GARDEN (RUG)
Romney Urban Garden is a small urban garden located at the end of Romney Court in the Upper Neck of the peninsula. In 2014, with seed money provided by the Historic Charleston Foundation (HCF), the youth of New Israel Reformed Episcopal Church set out to rehabilitate a vacant lot owned by the church. Neighbors, church members, and HCF spent hours clearing the lot. The parks has been maintained through this partnership throughout the years.
CHS Hort joined the partnership in 2020 to ensure the future of this important community asset by helping spearhead efforts for volunteer days for garden maintenance, future development and implementing garden educational programs.
In Summer 2021, CHS Hort facilitated and financed the design and installation of a new pollinator garden at RUG.
