On the Grid : Gilliam Park & Urban Gardens
"Centrally-located along the Trolley Line Trail, Gilliam Park offers Edgewood and surrounding neighborhoods 22 individual garden plots and 2 communal plots. Aside from production of clean, healthy crops (including tomatoes, squash, herbs, lettuces, radishes, carrots, strawberries, beans and sunflowers), the gardens exist in a dedicated effort to promote sustainable organic practices and community involvement. Aside from the sunny greenspace, in a neighborhood often characterized by shady, treelined streets, the park is also home to a covered picnic area, communal charcoal grill, and rainwater catchment system." - Green Olive Media
