Home » Programs » Lots of Green

Lots of Green is an innovative program that transforms the challenge of unmanaged vacant land into neighborhood assets. The program reactivates and repurposes vacant lots into neighborhood gardens, pocket parks, natural habitats and storm water demonstration sites. The result? More sustainable and resilient neighborhoods.  Keep up to date with our progress in the Idora Neighborhood by checking here for regular updates.

Testimonials

"It was refreshing to see something so positive in an area where there has been so much negative. The gardens have replaced vacant homes where we have done numerous drug raids. The open spaces are a great improvement over the vacant buildings that criminals used to hide in."
-Officer Mike Lambert, YPD - Refering to the Brentwood Ave. garden

"I have been a resident of the Idora Neighborhood for over 60 years, and the neighborhood is starting to feel like it did in its glory days once again.  I haven't felt this safe or this proud of my neighborhood in some time."
- Mrs. Esposito, long time Idora resident
