Heart & Soil  Vegetable Garden
This garden was created through an extensive collaboration with our Healthy Neighborhoods Partners. It began with Raise-Op purchasing a vacant lot and surveying over 70 residents on what we should do with the space. A majority of residents wanted to see a garden! Residents, volunteers, and  and local  youth worked together to construct the garden. The mural was designed by local youth and  created by a member of Raise-Op.
