A small but mighty group has been steadfast in stewarding to this gem of a vacant lot throughout the years. Tucked away on Shepard Street, this space is a calm retreat on a busy street. This year, we worked on maintaining the space by adding fresh mulch throughout all the planted areas. The group also provided regular upkeep of the space by regularly weeding, picking up trash, and mowing.
Big plans for the Shepard and Huntington lot. They’re thinking more plants, more weeding, and more outreach! Today was both a planning and maintenance meeting. Come join us next Saturday to help us plant beautiful perennials and do more maintenance duties!

Today was the first workday of Shepard and Huntington! Hoorah! The short, yet productive, workday consisted of mowing the overgrown grass (take a glance at the attached picture – so stunning!), picking up organic litter in the lot (including a GIANT branch!), and cleaning up street trash. The members of the Shepard and Huntington Lot care a tremendous amount about their community, and if you do too, you should join them! Come on out every Saturday at 8:00am! You’ll find us on the corner of Shepard and Huntington! See you there!

To claim that today was “only” a planning meeting is an understatement. Sam Faucett showed Jenn Richburg the entire neighbourhood from the seat in the center of the Shepard and Huntington lot, from the issues of the community to the creative solutions. Alongside the thriving Redwood came conversations about goals for the upcoming season, complaints about last season, and hope for the future. Come join us on Saturday, June 4th, 2022 at 8:30am on the corner of Shepard Street and Huntington Street to make the beautiful neighbourhood even more colorful and vibrant!
