A project that will transform a vacant school building on Madison’s Southside into a state-of-the art urban agriculture and community center campus.
The exterior areas of the site will include the following components:
Community Gardens serving the local neighborhood
Education Gardens serving as an outdoor classroom for students from around Dane County
Edible Landscape including perennials such as nut and fruit trees and berries
Innovative Storm Water Management that views stormwater as a resource
Rain Gardens for infiltration of stormwater
Permeable Surfaces for parking and walkways to increase stormwater infiltration

I just moved to Salem from Madison and was happy to see your post. One of the things that makes this possible in Madison is engaged and energetic citizens that work together to make their communities better.
Welcome fellow Badger(?). Mrs. Walker graduated from Madison's West HS. I met her in freshman chemistry at UW.
