Community Garden Sprouts in Ward 4

May 9, 2009: Corner Walnut + Essex Street

Instead of being frustrated about not being able to keep an abandoned lot clean, the Ward 4 Trash Bashers took matters into their own hands, and planted a Community Garden!







May 18, 2009 Garden Update
The garden is going strong! The spinach seeds that I planted are sprouted and doing great! Best of all, the lot appears to be collecting less trash. Hopefully as time goes along more residents from the immediate neighborhood will be interested in gardening on the lot.
