Growing food in abondoned Brooklyn lots
596acres.org | “The community is interested in reclaiming the portion of this lot that is at the corner of Forbell Street; it’s on top of the track at the point where train goes under ground. This MTA site used to be a garden about 20 years ago. The residents who maintained the garden, mostly Italians, moved away and the lot became abandoned. The community, together, with the mosque next door, is ready to remove the fence and make this space a resource again.”
Interim use: These guys are growing chilis tomatoes beans mustard greens and some red leafs I don’t know the name of all while waiting for the MTA to sign the lease and the NewYork Restoration Project to turn this into a landscaped oasis.
