They set up camp on our block and spent 3 days shooting photos and video. The whole experience was a lot of fun for the neighborhood. The MSL people were very nice and fun to work with. We are all very excited to see the final article and online videos.

We used donated concrete pavers and reclaimed materials to create a path that was professionally built, but still keeps the spirit of the garden.

DiCicco’s office assured us the garden purchase is a done deal and it is safe to go ahead and use the money for improvements. So far we got a water line from the city and the very damaged sidewalk on 3rd Street fixed.
