![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.

Head: E. 61st St. and Quincy Ave. Orchard
Project description and goals
The project affords a group of families who have stuck through the thick and thin of one particular Cleveland neighborhood a chance at beautifying a piece of land with an orchard. The goals include developing greenspace within a neighborhood that is sparse of meditative places, as well as supplying fresh fruit for those without access to healthful foods.
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.
