This community garden memorializes a neighborhood hero Mary L. Howard. The board of the 49/63 Neighborhood Coalition has the land trust for the lot at 1217 E 61st St. We use this space to gather community members to plant vegetables and flowers. This garden creates a healthy environment and brings together the neighborhood residents to establish positive relationships within the community. Ongoing activities include garden clean up days, planting, and maintenance.
