The folks over at Harlem Public have started a campaign to raise funds for a community garden at the avenue median on Broadway between 148th and 149th Street. These Broadway malls are a popular spot for locals to hang out and converse but some are less planted than others. Harlem Public was opened as a community spot for all to gather at night and the revitalization of the garden will carry that spirit during the hours of the day. This campaign is a collaboration with the Parks department but will need $5,000 to make it complete and the garden will be named after one of the owner's father who recently passed away after a battle with cancer. Those interested can get more details at the official indiegogo site:

That is a great idea. It sounds like a Business Improvement District is germinating.
