Creative Narrative

 A new community gathering space for the local inhabitants that promotes healthy living and producing your own food.  This dynamic and active place will exude a feeling of neighborhood.  Imagine spending the afternoon playing chess and checkers while taking a break from tending to the growing plants or doing laundry.  Maybe stop by for lunch or a snack at the Container Cafe on your way through the community.
