Brook Run Community Garden Vandalized

The Community Garden in Brook Run Park suffered extensive damage from vandals sometime Friday night or before dawn Saturday.

Most of the beds in the garden, which last year contributed donations of more than 3,000 pounds of produce to families in need in Dunwoody, appeared to have suffered varying degrees of damage.

“This looks like wanton destruction to me,” Garden President Don Converse said as he surveyed the damage.

“This is just such a shame,” said Nicole Maslanka, who coordinates the production of the food pantry beds at the garden and in the park greenhouse a short distance away.

Other garden members expressed the same shock and disbelief as they began arriving at the garden throughout the day as word of the vandalism filtered out to members.

Dunwoody Patch will have extensive coverage of this incident Sunday morning.
