You may have heard about the Reimagining Cleveland project but this Forum will answer the question “What’s going on here?” Join us for a program of education and inspiration.  Learn from folks who have actually created gardens, orchards, vineyards and farms from vacant land.  Gather information for your own reimagining project from a wealth of resources.  And, immediately following the Forum, join us in celebrating the opening of an exhibit in the Forum gallery showcasing the work of photographers and storytellers and illuminating the narratives of the reimagining grantees.
