Garden • Garden: “I think the garden, I personally feel it gives hope. And I know you’re like a garden gives hope? But when one has seen the same thing over and over again, that’s all you know. Like if it looks like trash, I feel like trash. I mean, you take on what you see. It’s almost like a manifestation. You don’t see positive things, you feel that’s the end all be all.” • Garden: “I like gardening, and the flowers in the area, making sure everything looks nice. I love gardening, they’ll tell ya I’m passionate about making sure everything looks good and the street I’m on right now we have three empty houses and it’s really hard to keep that street up by myself so, my husband will take care of it for me.”

I think those will all be successes. But since one of our struggles, particularly in this community, is access to job and upward mobility, I think that’d be a huge win.” Enhanced Community Engagement • Enhanced Community Engagement: (Person 1) “...(Do what another org did) put together what they call you, the navigators were the ambassadors, and it was almost like the big business improvement district downtown with the ambassadors where the purple shirts, and so there were people in their unique neighborhoods, just like we have four neighborhoods that were identified.” and (Person 2) “So I think actually getting involved and showing them on the other side of artwork that success. And if we can do that, I think we will fulfill our mission as it’s like, we call it the army” • Enhanced Community Engagement: “I think you’ll know that you’re successful if you’ve got buy in from the people who are here.
