Stiles Heritage Gardens
During 2023 we are creating the Heritage Gardens on the "Hell Strips" between the street and the sidewalk. Artist and instigator Lee Lee Leonard has graciously dedicated much time and effort to obtain several grants to help with this project.
Join us as we establish no-water, stone crevice gardens that explores the historical plant relationships held by African Americans.
Lee Lee's efforts have also brought together numerous organizations to help with seeds, materials, and work/fundraising events to make the garden project a reality.
We are especially grateful to the funding support from
P.S. You Are Here program
