Neighborhood Ofc. Kimberly Alan and Ofc. Amelia Levett along with CDA staff helped fifteen Triangle Neighborhood residents rehabilitate their community garden located near 755 Braxton Pl. on Friday, May 16th. Despite predictions of rain, the group was able to hang a new gate and line the existing chain-link fencing with additional fencing designed to keep rabbits and other small animals outside the garden. Donations of time and supplies from CDA, the City of Madison, Dane County, the Bayview Foundation and Journey Mental Health also contributed to the success of this project.

The group also included several Hmong elders who did not wish to be photographed, but whose help was greatly appreciated.
