Between E 53rd and E 55th - South of St. Clair;
next to the Goodrich Gannett neighborhood center at 1368 E. 55th
10am - 2pm
I always wonder, when I pass empty lots, exactly what the paperwork/legwork required would be to turn the area into a community garden, perhaps for food, perhaps just to add beauty. Then I wonder what steps one would have to take to create a garden. Well, the fine people at the New Agrarian Society are hosting a 'hand's on workshop' to cover that very topic!
excerpt:
That’s right. It’s the latest craze in urban agriculture: turning parking lots and empty blacktop into thriving gardens and greenspaces. Sound too good to be true? Come see how it’s done and help build an asphalt Market Garden with Wonder City Farms run by sisters Emmy and Jessica Levine. Wonder City Farms formed in 2006 to grow fresh produce on vacant lots around Cleveland. The workshop will be the urban equivilent of an Amish barn-raising, except we will building down instead of up. The more hands, the merrier. PLEASE BRING GARDEN TOOLS, WORK GLOVES, COMPOST, NEWSPAPER, FOOD SCRAPS, and A POTLUCK DISH TO SHARE FOR LUNCH! Check out the Blue Pike Farm Open House in the same neighborhood after the event, details below. For more information, call 216-334-7478.
Awesome!
