Everything Must Go at Crow Hill Community Garden

Here’s some really sad news to start off the week: The Crow Hill Community Garden, at 730 Franklin Avenue between Park and Sterling, will be no more by tomorrow night. According to the CHCA, the lot sold and everything must be removed from the garden by Tuesday night or it is in danger of being destroyed. That means all the plantings, furniture, paving stones, and tools must be gone, not to mention the large-scale art installation done through the Art Not Arrests program. The artwork (pictured) will be dismantled Tuesday afternoon. CHCA is asking that residents stop by in the next two days and help dig up the plants to relocate them. Or, if you know of a home for displaced supplies, contact CHCA. As they said in an email: “We understand how upsetting this is, but it is a community project and as a community we will come through this stronger. Any help you can give over the next 2 days is greatly appreciated.” The CHCA will hold a meeting this Tuesday, 7:30 PM at the Gospel Tabernacle Church (725 Franklin Avenue) to discuss what’s going to happen next. It will be open to the public.
