New Realm Media: Community Video

The Akron Urban Gardens held their ground breaking ceremony, a tree planting day, commemorating those who lost their lives from the All-America Bridge also known as the Y-bridge. Over 40 people have taken their lives since 1997.

Volunteers planted over 50 trees at Elizabeth Park on East Lods Street near Cascade Village.

Akron Urban Gardens received a $6,000 grant from the Neighborhood Partnership Program through Akron Community Foundation

Dana Starvaggi and Alex Miller, Akron Urban Gardens co-founders, planned this event over two years ago.
