Community Garden Next Door

It looks like Gateway Greening strikes again. Besides the nice plants and flowers they've planted on Washington, it looks like they've started a community garden on 22nd.

This is still a developing story, so check back in a couple of days. By then, I should know who planted it, what in the heck EHLA means, if they need any volunteers, and if we will be able to take some of the bounty.

Fresh, red tomatoes out the back door, in the city? You gotta love it.

****Update****

It didn't hit me until this morning driving down Jefferson. E-H-L-A Ethel Hedgeman Lyle Academy. That's who the garden belongs to. I contacted the principal to find out the scoop on the garden.

Did you find out how we can help with this? Thanks for all the helpful information :)

No reply yet. I looked at it today and it looks pretty dry. Perhaps if we agreed to offer our water, we might do our "community" part and can partake in the garden.

There's also some plants by the front door that look pretty sad right now, do you know what the deal is with those?
