“Being in the garden breaks through race issues- it’s a common thing we all have in our spirits and our souls.”
– Omari Chatman, Hope Garden Leader
Hope Community’s collective vision for the neighborhood we want to live in is reflected in Hope’s urban gardens. We work with community members and other partners to develop a network of gardens that are places where people can gather to learn, grow and build community connections. The gardens are located near our offices and housing, all within a two-minute walk of each other:
The Hope Block garden with small plots for individuals and families
The farm-style, collectively managed Oakland Avenue garden
The Community Teaching Garden at The Rose
