Grape Vine Garden, Reimagining a More Sustainable Cleveland Project
![Jardins partagés: Often planted on public or formerly abandoned land, community gardens are run by volunteers who cultivate vegetables or flowers and closer relationships to nature and one another. Generally open to all participants, they are sometimes fenced, locked or threatened by development. May offer hands-on learning and a habitat for birds and insects.

![Alimentation Bio/Locale: Food grown close to where it is consumed, reducing shipping impacts and increasing freshness. Organic food is grown without pesticides (biocides), genetic modification or synthetic fertilizers. Minimally processed, with no chemicals or waxes added after harvesting. May include fair trade or direct trade practices. Alimentation Bio/Locale](https://www.opengreenmap.org/sites/default/files/taxonomy_image/category_pictures_3.gif)
![Site assaini/reboisé: A previously contaminated (or disaster) area that has been restored and remediated for safe public use, according to environmental standards. Can include brownfield remediation sites, development sites with soil/groundwater cleanup efforts, or reclaimed cleaned-up land such as urban parks and gardens.

Project description and goals
The project involves revitalizing a stretch of garbage-filled land into a grape vineyard. Goals include creating greater access to a fresh fruit in an area otherwise short of proximity to produce, as well as demonstrating to community members the possibilities of neighborhood regeneration through the actual transformation of fallow ground.
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.
