Norristown Community Gardens located on the old state hospital grounds 1001 Sterigere St. Norristown, PA 19401
Brush With the Law helps beautify this very loving community garden by helping to build and paint wooden entrance gates and create mosaic wooden numbered plot stakes using tiles, glass, etc. in bright and reflective surfaces that add beauty and deter rodents. Tiles and glass were donated by Santoro Tiles in Norristown and Castle Studio in North Wales, PA.
