. The University of Dayton’s Hanley Sustainability Institute has partnered with East End Community Services and Mission of Mary Cooperative to initiate change within East Dayton through the development of a community green space and urban agriculture center. The Lincoln Hill Gardens urban agriculture project is transforming five acres of vacant land within the Twin Towers Neighborhood into a sustainable multipurpose site, featuring urban agriculture-based educational and recreational elements to serve both the UD and Greater Dayton communities. The gardens provide opportunities for classes to directly engage in issues of urban agriculture, food justice, and community leadership. Student volunteers and interns participate in the work of the gardens.
