Over the past few weeks, we have been going to the 462 Halsey St community garden. On Tuesday, June 20th, we went to the garden and got the chance to speak to one of the community members named Paul. That day we got to ask him a few questions that we came up with on a previous visit. We were able to find more information about the Gardens background and how the mayor was going to close down the garden for affordable housing in 2015 but didn’t succeed. We also learned about all the plants and vegetables that they grow and how they compost.
