Dover Park Goes Organic Dover Park in North Oakland (or MLK, as it is also known) has the good fortune to be stewarded by a strong neighborhood group which designed the park and is now shepherding the improvements. On June 6th, with the help of their partners Phat Beets and Children's Hospital, they broke ground for their new vegetable garden which includes six rows of vegethable beds--squash, basil and tomatoes were planted and are already thriving.
Thanks to a Keep
Oakland Beautiful mini-grant they will also build raised beds for neighborhood seniors to join in on the gardening. The City
has also installed a water line and once the beds are completely planted Phat Beets will install a sprinkler system.
Everyone involved celebrated the day with a potluck! To see photos and read more about the day visit: http://oaklandlocal.com/article/obesity-prevention-garden-true-north-oakland-collaboration
