About the Program:
Directly across the street from HPEM a lot stands vacant and steadily dilapidating. Though now a neighborhood eyesore this lot has endless untapped potential as an economic and nutritional resource and a neighborhood development tool. The students of HPEM their families and greater community will work together to transform a rundown lot into a financially and nutritionally contributive vegetable garden an outdoor classroom and a neighborhood mural.
