01 / The story
An empty courtyard can become a place that keeps giving.
Behind Riverbend Library is a sunlit courtyard that has been closed for more than a decade. Families pass it every day. Teachers see a science room without walls. Neighbors see somewhere to grow herbs, share meals, and slow down together.
This campaign funds a safe, accessible learning garden with twelve growing beds, a rainwater system, shaded workshop tables, and a small greenhouse maintained by local volunteers.
“Children understand a seed differently when they are the ones who put it in the soil.”— Ama Nartey, project lead
