There is plenty of space for any new participants in the garden as well as a coordinated effort to plant an edible forest garden. This process started last fall with the planting of 26 trees. Openlands donated the trees and the Root Riot folk helped to install them. A greenhouse is in the works for the soon future as well as a staging area for gardeners to move materials, newly organized raised beds and a more central entrance to the area. Thank you NeighborSpace and the hard work of the Root Riot Root Riot Community Garden. Special thanks to Amy Beltimacchi for coordinating the miriad of needs and details in the planning of the garden for the future support to the community of the West Side. It is exciting to see these developments of the Waller Street Property.
When NeighborSpace gained ownership of the property on Waller Street, plans could be made. First though the property had to be remediated from hazardous pollution on the property. Taking advantage of the process, the Garden team organized the space with GlennArt Farm workers to prep for the arrival of the bulldozers. The site sldo needed to be graded to eliminate the debris from the previous building structure.
