The Roachdale Community Garden is a project initiated in memory of Bob Allen, lifetime-time resident and business man in Roachdale for over 50 years.

• An area where business people and the community can take lunch breaks or just relax.
• A mechanism for family, friends, or neighbors to donate a tree, bench, or an engraved brick in honor or memory of a loved one or in celebration of an event.
• An opportunity for townspeople to collaborate and work together on a community project that benefits the town, citizens, and children of the community.
