Greening, a Thing!
What if undertaking the task of making fallow urban neighborhoods tree-lined again with pop up nurseries might be a way to activate neighborhoods?! We have experienced how art has revived many abandoned warehouses and created sustainable communities in such spaces.

Young people flock into some of the extremely popular tea houses in lower Manhattan that offer only tea with no wi-fi and a plant store under the same roof. “Greening” may be an opportunity?!
