Friends of W. 47th St. Garden, Reimagining a More Sustainable Cleveland Project
![Community Garden: 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.

![Organic/Local Food: 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. Organic/Local Food](https://www.opengreenmap.org/sites/default/files/taxonomy_image/category_pictures_3.gif)

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.
