In 1993, initially with the help of Western
Pennsylvania Conservancy, Avon Club
established two community gardens along
Ohio River Boulevard in Ben Avon and
Emsworth. These beautiful flower beds,
which are planted and maintained by Avon
Club members, are now solely funded by
ACF. Not only do they enhance our local
landscape and environment, but they also
brighten the life of everyone who travels on
Ohio River Boulevard. For more information,
