Henderson Park is a participant in the Communities Take Root competition for a fruit tree orchard. The Tucker Civic Association, Henderson Park Community Garden, and DeKalb County submitted a collaborative grant application to the Fruit Tree Planting Foundation in which we requested 3 apple trees, 2 pear trees, 3 fig trees, 3 persimmon trees, and 30 blueberry bushes to be planted in the area around the community garden.
