I Am Hollygrove-Dixon
Just to remind myself
I live in the Hollygrove-Dixon Neighborhood. This is not the Ghetto
this is not the hood
we do not live in slums
and we're not at the bottom.
We are a community
with real people,
with real children
who have real dreams
and who have real aspirations.
We are inspired by our culture
and fueled by our audacity
to hope
to demand
to declare
Hollygrove-Dixon Neighborhood is
not the Ghetto
we are not the hood
we don't live in the slums
and we are not at the bottom of anything.
I am Hollygrove-Dixon.

Our Gardens
Our Community Garden located at 4206 Eagle Street and the Children's Garden at 8606 Marks Street, we address food deserts in our community. We grow a variety of vegetables so those who put in sweat equity can share in the harvest. Our children's garden is currently experimenting with Three-Sisters Plantings.
Garden Care
