Roots In The City

O ur modern society is often characterized by alienation from our roots. We are a mobile society and people often move around the country leaving their roots behind.
This has often led to the decay of our inner cities and a reduction in the quality of life in these areas. Roots In The City is a project which seeks to use improvements in
the ecology of the central city to positively change the quality of life of the city residents, not only through beautification projects, but through providing employment
for the residents in these projects and other ecologically oriented activities.

Below are some images of the Overtown Community Garden, our original project. We also have planted vegetable
gardens which the local residents may freely utilize, and we have other neighborhood projects underway.
