In their words, “We sustainably repurpose vacant land into spaces for collaboration, play, learning, and environmental justice. Areas like our Edible Park and Nook foster community health over time. Our Integrated Plant Health Management Plan reinvigorates soil and employs crop rotations, insect netting, beneficial insects, and raised beds to reduce the need for harsh chemicals.”
