About Woolson St
Garden History
The Woolson St. Community Garden was founded in 2014 after community members sought a space in the neighborhood to reflect positivity, community values, and congregate.
They chose a community garden in a vacant lot. In 2013, residents agreed upon 12 individual plots, flowerbeds, pear trees, and a patio for neighborhood events. Today, residents come to farm fresh food to use in traditional West Indie meals, create large-scale artwork, and come to connect with the neighborhood.
