Overview

Project team
Head: The E. 143rd St. Gardeners

Project description and goals

The proposed community garden will serve as a learning laboratory for various sustainability initiatives. The park will consist of stations involving lessons relating to: planting, growing, maintaining, recycling, and harvesting. Beyond those horticulturally-related, other goals include diversifying the food supply in an inner city neighborhood, building self-esteem through production, and creating health awareness

About ReImagining a More Sustainable Cleveland:
Re-Imagining Greater Cleveland is a pragmatic, data driven strategy for the management and reuse of vacant properties in Cleveland and Cuyahoga County. The initiative builds on the work began in the 2007 Re-Imagining a More Sustainable Cleveland study, which was led by nonprofit community development organization Neighborhood Progress, Inc. (NPI) and Cleveland Urban Design Collaborative.
