The City of Cleveland and Ohio State University Extension, Cuyahoga County (OSUECC) partnered in 1977 and continue to work together to make the program a success. The Summer Sprout program provides soil testing, seeds, starter plants, soil amendments, tilling services, raised bed materials, educational outreach and support to participating gardens. OSUECC works with community partners, including the City of Cleveland Land Bank, who develops land tenureship for garden sites. In 2016, Summer Sprout supported 22 new community gardens in the City of Cleveland, adding to the 172 that returned from the 2015 growing season. Community gardens in Cleveland are diverse; neighborhood clubs, schools, Kentucky Community Garden faith-based groups, non-profit agencies, and many others. 2016 Summer Sprout Community Garden Program Report 3 2016 Summer Sprout Community Gardening Program Snapshot 2015 Summer Sprout Applications for new gardens (Appendix A, page 74) were made available during the month of September, 2015. Newly enrolled gardens received acceptance letters by mid-October. Soil tests were taken in October and sent to the University of Massachusetts soil lab to test for lead (Pb), pH, and nutrient levels. Meetings were held in November with new gardeners to discuss the Summer Sprout program and how it would support their projects. 2016 Summer Sprout Renewal forms (Appendix B, page 79) were sent to existing gardens in October of 2015 and were due back to OSU Extension by the middle of November. This form requested updated contact information, garden information, and service and materials needs for 2016. Spring The Annual Garden Leader Kickoff was held on April 9, 2016 at the Slovenian National Home and provided gardeners with information regarding plant distribu- tion, tilling, and allowed for networking opportunities. Gardeners were also able to purchase a hydrant per- mit and pick up a total of 11,085 vegetable, herb, and flower seed packets. 2016 Garden Leader Kickoff On April 19th 60 bare root fruit trees and 446 small fruit plants (blackberries, raspberries, and strawberries) were distributed to gardeners at the OSU Extension office. Starting in March soil and leaf humus (totaling 173 and 97 cubic yards, respectively) were delivered to 47 Summer Sprout sites. 17 gardens received a total of 122 pieces of lumber for raised beds. 63 gardens received tilling services through the program. Plant distribution occurred at Stanard Farm from May 12th- 14th. 52,128 starter plants (tomatoes, peppers, collard greens, cabbage, and eggplant) were distributed to gardeners. Gardener with a Fruit Tree 4 2016 Summer Sprout Community Garden Program Report 2016 Summer Sprout Community Gardening Program Snapshot Summer June through September OSUECC staff and interns conducted 130 site visits to Summer Sprout gardens throughout the city. Staff were able to troubleshoot problems, give recommendations, and suggest community resources available to gardens, including grant opportunities and local community develop- ment corporations. Staff measured overall garden area and production space, took note of structures on site, and what fruits and vegetables were being grown on site. The Site Assessment Worksheet can be found in Appendix E (page 88). In 2016, OSU Extension, Cuyahoga County held 28 free workshops focusing on various urban agriculture topics throughout the county. Workshop topics include seed starting, youth gardening, fruit tree planting and Site Visit at Ithaca Court Garden pruning, integrated pest management (IPM), com- posting, hoop houses, cultural crops, and fall planting. Over 225 community members attended these workshops. The 2016 Summer Sprout application for new gardens was made available during the month of July 2016. 22 new community gardens were accepted into the Summer Sprout program for the 2016 gardening season. Fall and Winter In September, season extension workshops where held and roughly 20 gardens received cover crop seed, and row cover. In 2016 twenty-seven Summer Sprout gardeners graduated OSU Extension’s eight week Dig-In! community garden training pro- gram which met once weekly for 2.5 hours January through March of 2016. 2016 had eleven more graduates than 2015! Participants learned how to locate and assess sites, organize a 2015 Dig-In Class group of gardeners, plan and design a garden, grow vegetables and fruit, incorporate integrated pest management practices, identify community resources, and increase neighborhood access to fresh produce. Gardeners had opportunities to network, gain gardening skills, and confidence. Starting in January 2017 Summer Sprout gardeners will be enrolled in OSU Extension Cuyahoga County’s Dig-In program. 2016 Summer Sprout Community Garden Program Report 5 2016 Summer Sprout Community Gardening Program Snapshot Health Impacts In the 2017 Renewal Form we asked garden leaders a series of questions regarding how working in the community garden impacts their health. 94% of garden leaders responded to the survey.

  • University Neighborhood Plan Summary
    UNIVERSITY NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN SUMMARY Description. The University neighborhood encompasses two of Cleveland’s most well known places, University Circle and Little Italy. University Circle came into being in the 1880s with the donation of 63 acres of wooded parkland to the City by financier Jeptha Wade, one of the creators of Western Union. “Little Italy.” was established in the late 1800s by Italian immigrants who settled there for lucrative employment in the nearby marble works. The dense housing in Little Italy represents the largest residential area in the neighborhood. There are a few other isolated streets of residential and student housing located in the neighborhood. The majority of the land in the neighborhood is either institutional use or park land. Assets. University is home to many institutions that are not only assets to the neighborhood but the region as well. Among the assets in the neighborhood are: • educational institutions like Case Western Reserve University, the Cleveland Institute of Art, the Cleveland Institute of Music, the Cleveland Music School Settlement, John Hay High School and the Arts Magnet School • health institutions the University Hospitals and the Veterans Hospital • cultural attractions such as the Cleveland Museum of Art, Severance Hall, the Western Reserve Historical Society, Cleveland Museum of Natural History, the Children’s Museum and the Cleveland Botanical Gardens • natural features such as Doan Brook and the hillside to the “Heights” • open spaces such as Wade Park, Ambler Park and Lakeview Cemetery

  • Cleveland, Ohio
    RED FIELDS TO green fields Parks Transform Neighborhoods and Waterfronts Introduction This booklet outlines a visionary concept to revitalize the uniquely positioned City of Cleveland, Ohio. Once a manufacturing center, Cleveland has diversified its infrastructure and is now considered an exemplar for downtown revitalization, urban renaissance, and public-private partnerships. Cleveland’s population peaked over sixty years ago in the height of industry, and populations have subsequently decreased with the decline of heavy manufacturing. The City faces continuing challenges from concentrated poverty in some neighborhoods and a market flooded with vacant properties, low property values, and underutilized commercial corridors. The current real estate crisis and flood of foreclosed properties threatens the stability of Cleveland’s neighborhoods. This crisis also offers the City an opportunity to incorporate greening into community development by transforming derelict, vacant and foreclosed properties into green spaces that will serve as recreational and social hubs. Transforming these spaces from eyesores into assets will revitalize a community constructed through a solid work ethic. By focusing new investment in areas of Cleveland characterized by underutilized commercial land and foreclosed residential property, public spaces can be developed, jobs created, land values increased, and significant economic development stimulated. In the Cleveland metropolitan area, this can be done by turning Red Fields to Green Fields. Vacant land in Cleveland has the untapped potential to revitalize the State while creating jobs. Parks Transform Neighborhoods & Waterfronts 3 Problem #1: The current real estate crisis and flood of foreclosed properties threatens the stability of Cleveland’s neighborhoods. The Status of Cleveland’s Real Estate Cleveland’s Population Decline The foreclosure crisis in Ohio is quite pronounced.
