"Thanks to the garden, the neighborhood is stronger because we’ve become undivided."

- Kelly Street resident

The new Kelly Street Garden is "Double Green", producing fresh food for residents while diverting up to 250,000 gallons of stormwater runoff annually. Between July and September 2014, residents harvested over 345 pounds of fresh vegetables and herbs. Read the press release here.
