Martha Stewart Living Visits the Garden

The folks at Martha Stewart Living decided to do an article on urban gardens for their March 2011 issue and picked our garden to feature! They set up camp on our block and spent 3 days shooting photos and video. The whole experience was a lot of fun for the neighborhood. The MSL people were very nice and fun to work with. We are all very excited to see the final article and online videos.

Grant Money for Improvements

The deadline to use our grant money is in June 2006. DiCicco’s office assured us the garden purchase is a done deal and it is safe to go ahead and use the money for improvements. So far we got a water line from the city and the very damaged sidewalk on 3rd Street fixed.
