More To Love

With the help of our sponsors and supporters, Mid-City Community Garden successfully launched its second community garden, Wise Words Community Garden, which is located at 724 S. Hennessey Street. Wise Words Community Garden will combine two things that make New Orleans unique - food and art. It will be the first community garden to dedicate space to local artists, displaying their artwork. Words of wisdom will also be display along the garden's path.

Working Hard in the Garden

Thanks to Hands On New Orleans, the American Teleservices Association and Etech, Inc., our raised beds now have covers. View photos of the volunteers working hard to help beautify the Mid-City Community Garden. We would also like to thank the Olive Brance Cafe for providing last minute service to over 40 people.
