The grantees of 2019's Working with Lots Program have been hard at work over the last six months transforming their vacant lots into beautiful landscapes. Join us for a tour of seven Field Guide Lot Designs throughout the city, and a conversation with the grantees. We'll enjoy food, drink, and conversation as we hear our grantees' implementation stories and their experiences from design to installation, and what it means to their community.
