Blaine Ave. Urban Agriculture Education Garden, Reimagining a More Sustainable Cleveland

このサイトについて

Project team

Head: Lift As We Climb Urban Agriculture Education

Partners: Cleveland Public Library Hough Branch, Blaine Ave. Community Garden, Medina Street Garden.

Project description and goals

The project proposes a neighborhood garden as a working lab for community members interested in learning about urban agriculture. By partnering with the local library, the lab will have both applied and educational components, in which members will have access to books as well as a real-world setting from which urban gardening lessons are learned. The goal, in its essence, is to bring the workshop model into the neighborhoods, and to give them a permanent base to learn about such pertinent issues as lead, nutrients, growing season, soil enrichment, etc.

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.
