Abstract:
Students attending the Governor Morehead School for the Blind experience a garden in Raleigh in a way many of its visitors do not. Inspired by Helen Keller, Martha Franck created a garden she intended to be experienced most fully through its smell, sound, and touch stimuli. Started in 1960 in Butner, it is in operation through a partnership between this school and the Garden Club of North Carolina.

Abstract:
Raleigh’s City Council has approved a new provision that allows community gardens in some parts of the city to operate without a special-use permit. However, not all areas are covered and many want the provision expanded. The gardens brighten vacant lots, serve as community gathering places, and are a source of nutritious food to low-income areas.
