AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) - Weeds and overgrowth in Augusta are now threatening a local community farm.

Black Farm Street, located just down the road from Josey High School, has been experiencing issues ranging from clogged storm drains to damaging overgrowth for over a year.

The owner of the farm, LaShawndra Robinson, said the city is not doing all it can to fix the issues.

Dating back to 2021, there have been 311 complaints filed regarding the city’s creek that’s near Black Farm Street.

Robinson claims the overgrowth from the creek is killing her crops.

In August 2023, Robinson filed a property damage claim, and the city paid her $2,590 for damages.
