Public places

This project will turn a vacant lot on Main Street into a vibrant garden and pocket park, by providing shade, pavers for accessibility, seating, permanent garden features, and a mural enjoyed by elderly, low income, and family populations to enjoy.

In 2021, an AARP Community Challenge grant helped the Main Street Garden upgrade its location with the addition of accessible seating, an outdoor dining area, flowers, a shade structure and even a hammock. Residents of the small city (population: 1,500) are invited to "pull a weed or two, and enjoy the fresh produce."
