This mural was coordinated by NEAR/Near East Area Renewal and painted in 2024. Community members shared images of their gardens as inspiration for the design. Teen art students created stencils of the images, and helped to place them on the wall. Volunteers from area businesses and neighborhoods helped to paint the mural. Every participant in the project added their handprint to the design. Addie Hirschten, artist and resident of the adjoining Cottage Home neighborhood, coordinated the effort. The mural was made possible with a grant from the City of Indianapolis’ Public Art for Neighborhoods Program and the Cottage Home Neighborhood Association.
