A few years ago, our greenhouse began as a collaboration between Childcare and Housing. Over time, the space grew quiet, and the beds sat unattended, needing a refresh.

This summer, our Social Services clients and residents changed that story.

Participants from Hacia, Men’s Bridge House, and our SRO programs rolled up their sleeves to clear debris, organize supplies, and restore the greenhouse. Shelves are tidy, tools are in place, and the beds are ready for planting. What started as a simple clean-up became a proud moment of teamwork and ownership.

There are no outside partners on this project. It is homegrown, led by the people who live here and use these spaces every day. Their work brings fresh purpose to a resource that serves health, learning, and community.

Next up is planting. The group is planning easy starter crops and simple care routines so the garden can grow through the season.
