Peace Gardens & market

The Peace Gardens are a destination where community is built. Building on the agricultural and entrepreneurial legacy of E.W. Pearson, the founder of the historically African American Burton Street Community were the gardens are located, we have cultivated a creative commons focused on art, environmental stewardship, and social enterprise. The gardens are home to vegetable beds, native plants, multiple art installations, performance areas, a library/classroom, outdoor oven, greenhouse, micro-store, maker spaces, and more. The space has given birth to multiple enterprises, including local businesses and non-profits. We believe that a thriving community depends on all of us, so we engage youth, elders, neighbors, and visitors in the mission of creating a culture of sustainability that's inclusive and just.
