CONGRESS HEIGHTS COMMUNITY GARDEN! Let's do it!
This email just came over on the
Congress Heights on the Rise Community Connection. It is such a W-O-N-D-E-R-F-U-L idea! If you are interested please contact Ms. Woodland. It sounds like such a great thing to do with local kids -give them pride in our community and who doesn't love a garden?
I have a suggestion for a great place to have a garden - Shepherd Park! The park is in dire need of a green thumb and it would be a wonderful place to start. It's so visible and really could become a catalyst for transforming the park back to a place for families and children to enjoy.
Many thanks to Ms. Woodland for coming up with such a great idea!

youth, assistance for organizations to improve their public space as well as
ways to increase community support for our community market. I
Interested? Please contact me @ vernicew@yahoo.com. If several residents are interested, I will find a place to
meet, discuss, and plan.
