Drake Gardens
NeighborSpace is an organization dedicated to transforming vacant lots into vibrant community gardens across Chicago, enhancing social infrastructure and fostering community engagement. One notable example is El Coqui Garden in Humboldt Park, established in 1998, which serves as both a lush green space and an educational resource for local students.
The garden not only showcases flowers and vegetables but also acts as a gathering place for people of all ages, hosting picnics and potlucks. Under the guidance of community members like Carmen Arroyo, who emphasizes the importance of promoting garden activities, El Coqui has become an intergenerational oasis where local residents can come together and learn.
