Neighbors turn empty lots into food oases

Imagine living in a neighborhood where the nearest grocery store is miles away, and fresh produce is a rare treat. That’s daily life for many in Cincinnati’s Beekman Street Corridor, but residents aren’t waiting for big chains to save them. Folks like Val Glenn and Theresa Thomas are transforming vacant lots into vibrant gardens, sharing tomatoes, cucumbers, and even gardening know-how with neighbors. These grassroots efforts are more than just about food—they’re about building community strength and self-reliance.
