Project snapshot

The 147th Road Block & Community Association is turning neglected spaces into vibrant community assets. We’ve identified an unused area brimming with potential for a beautification project aimed at creating a community garden. This initiative will not only enhance the neighborhood’s aesthetics but also foster connections among residents and promote environmental sustainability. Sustainability will be ensured by forming a volunteer committee for maintenance. This project is about more than just adding flowers?it’s about cultivating pride, connection, and a sustainable future for our neighborhood. Together, we can turn this blank canvas into a thriving oasis.
