Turn empty Roxbury lot into neighborhood garden

The idea

Convert an empty, unused lot into a neighborhood garden, benefiting Roxbury residents and creating opportunities for meaningful outdoor activities and fresh, healthy produce for this traditionally underserved community.

Who it helps and why

Creates space and opportunities for neighborhood-wide and outdoor activities, as well as community agriculture and fresh, healthy food, for Roxbury residents, who are socially and racially diverse yet representative of the greater Boston population, but have historically been sidelined from citywide community improvement and nature-reclamation efforts.
