Project snapshot
As a key member of the 1100 Block Bergen Street Community Garden initiative, I’ve seen firsthand how our project, “Supporting Community Stewardship of 1100 Block Bergen Street Community Garden,” will work on the pressing issue of watering our lush, vegetation-rich space. Through a comprehensive, low-maintenance irrigation system, we plan to sustain our garden efficiently, countering the rising temperatures due to climate change. Green spaces like ours don’t just offer a breath of fresh air; they’re essential cooling zones for the community. This project unfolds in three stages: designing the irrigation system with local consultant Rue Hogarth, installing and troubleshooting the system, and educating the community through a picnic.
