The goals of this garden are to transform a vacant lot into something of greater beauty and purpose. By doing this, we hope to create opportunities for broader community interest and engagement in the Merrill Neighborhood, to provide fresh vegetables to our neighbors and to show additional positive change to this challenged area of our community.
This garden is located on the 1300 block of Porter Avenue. It consists of three residential lots that form an L shape.
Take what you need and leave the rest for others to share.
Remain on the paths as much as possible to protect the plants.
Respect all forms of life.
We are always looking for volunteers and visitors! Please contact Garden Manager Kaelyb Lokrantz at klokrantz@community-action.org if you are interested in helping out! There will be frequent events that we will host for anyone to come and spend some time in our green space.
