What problem would you like to
Inactivity in transitional housing program members
Shame of being in community
Lack of access to community garden.
Why is it important to solve? Why is it relevant for the community?
Population is majority mental health issues
Provides low maintenance therapeutic options
Beautify under and unused space in communal backyard in enclosed community
What idea do you have to address the problem?
Teach gardening, teach about edible plants and healthy eating, impress good habits and routine, show tangible results of hard work
Who would that help?
Residence at Hallet's Cove has 50 residents with mental health issues
Also help with community integration...maybe eventual partnership with local two coves and Randall's Island community gardens
