Transforming Louisville's vacant lots into urban gardens
|
We are tackling Louisville's vacant lot problem with shovels and compost. Where others see overgrown lots we see fertile soil, and we say, "Farm It!"
In 2013 we began with a vacant lot in Phoenix Hill neighborhood. For 2014 we plan to establish trees and other perennials on land that we own in the Portland neighborhood- and turn land that's been vacant for 20 years into a diverse thriving productive piece of urban land. We are receiving land from Louisville's Land Bank, the agency that holds foreclosed vacant property and makes it available to citizens for redevelopment. |
OPEN HOUSE Postponed ( not happening Nov 17 as advertised)
Watch this space or email us - we'll let you know when you can... Come see the Lots, enjoy some refreshments, and do some work if you feel like it, at 1645 Portland Ave, 40203. |
Lots of Food's pilot project in Phoenix Hill neighborhood established beans, tomatoes, and okra on this vacant lot.
