City farms bring cheer to Indianapolis streets
Indianapolis residents cultivate small city farms on vacant lots with help from the Vacant Lots Cultivation and Home Decoration committee of the Charity Organization Society. Neighbors assign plots to the needy, with seedlings provided for the elderly or disabled, yielding fresh vegetables and flowers through summer and into winter. Women and children grow produce, easing living costs, and groups organize schools and yards cleanups to beautify neighborhoods, inspiring broader urban gardening efforts.
