The Children's Garden!

We reported back in May that the lot at Sackett and Columbia is set to be turned into a children's garden.  We were very excited when we found out and couldn't wait to see the eyesore of an empty lot be transformed into something great for the community.  We don't have to wait any longer! Alright, well, maybe a little bit longer.  But,  as you can see in the pic above, the transformation has begun and folks were working on it last weekend.  A lot of people came to help out.  Man, we love our hood!  The Columbia Street Children's Garden is on it's way!

Columbia Street Children's Garden Coming Soon!

The proposal to turn the large empty lot on the corner of Sackett and Columbia, 161 Sackett to be exact, into the Columbia Street Children's Garden has apparently been approved!  Today we saw a sign announcing the plans.  Construction will begin soon to transform this lot into an educational outdoor space for kids.  The plans consist of a greenhouse, a barn coop, compost bins, and more.  We also found a great article about this on Brownstoner if you'd like to hear more about it.  We can't wait! This will definitely add to the Columbia Waterfront District.
