Artspace Gardens

Behind Artspace on Ellicott is the City's newest raised bed community garden project. When I stopped by this afternoon, Amanda and Colleen we're busy with a number of other Artspace residents filling the raised beds with compost.

They've been working on the project all year and with the cooperation of Artspace who bought the land and Buffalo Re-Use - raised beds and compost, they're planning on a bountiful crop of herbs and vegetables.

Amanda showed me the garden path she's created linking Artspace with the neighborhood, the sort of linkages that I always imagined that would be established between Artspace and the community.

Colleen is putting together a 'work-day' schedule for this project and she can be reached at colleenthinks@gmail.com for more information. Topping a list of needs for the project is a garden shed. So, if any fixBuffalo readers have or know of garden shed that's available, please contact Colleen.

There is a quality even meaner than outright ugliness or disorder, and this meaner quality is the dishonest mask
of pretended order, achieved by ignoring or suppressing the real order that is struggling to exist and to be served.
- Jane Jacobs (1916-2006) from The Death and Life of Great American Cities, 1961.
