Abacoa Community Garden Celebrates 10th Anniversary
And Honors Founders Tom And Liz Poulson
The Abacoa Community Garden held a combination 10th
Anniversary and Honoring of our founders Tom and Liz Poulson
at the Abacoa Ampitheatre on May 18.
The garden, with the aid of the Abacoa Property Owners
Assembly, created a fenced in “zone” at the May 18 Erasmith
concert produced by Legends Radio and Robinson Entertainment
Productions. Garden members socialized and shared delicious
and nutritious food and drinks, some of which came from the
garden. One example was lemon grass tea made by our founder
Liz Poulson. The area, with its tent festooned with banners of
celebration, provided a place for other concertgoers to learn Tom And Liz Poulson
more about the garden and even share in the food. Before the
concert began, garden members went to the stage area where they
had an opportunity to tell concertgoers about the garden and its
founders. Tom and Liz were presented with a bronze plaque that Photos by Johnny Simmons Photography
has since been placed at the entrance to the garden as well as a
book of remembrance. This includes pictures of the garden from
inception to present, as well as tributes from garden members and The Motowners: A Tribute
