Status Built 2021

El Nor Apartments renovated their informal, heavily-used community garden to increase equity among gardeners, add accessibility into the building, and highlight the entry to the garden. The updated community space includes a series of raised beds to define individual garden plots and add accessible gardening. A new ramp and patio allow for accessible building entry and create social gathering options. A new wood arbor marks the entry and resets the space as a living community space.
