DeWayne Barton, community activist and founder of Hood Huggers International local tours, planted a seed in an overgrown lot for a community garden with deep roots. There’s a greenhouse and growing area and sculptures. There’s a performance pavilion, fire pit, and pizza oven. There’s even a two-bedroom bungalow (the Peace Garden Retreat), awarded to anyone who wants to come and build and create (installations, performance art, social change) during their six-week stay.
