Alisa Foster:
Like what you see at the Blaine Avenue Community Garden?
A lot of that has to do with Ms. Alisa Foster! She is the Blaine Avenue Community Garden Coordinator and works hard at making sure things are in place! Not only does she coordinate the community garden site she is also the "garden finder" for the Hough leg of GardenWalk Cleveland 2012. Under her leadership we have 35 gardens on the walk this year!
As if that weren't enough "Ms. Alisa" as she is affectionately called also works with the youth in our Emerging Leaders program and our newly established summer day camp program at City Rising Farm. Whew...I get tired just thinking about all she does!
A lifelong Hough resident, Ms. Alisa is always thinking about ways to engage the community in activities that benefit not just the people in the Hough neighborhood but people where ever she finds them. That includes the work she does with the youth in her church.
Did I say I was tired just thinking about all that Ms. Alisa does? lol It seems Ms. Alisa never gets tired of contributing to the local Hough community but also to our glorious world community as well!
So when you stop by City Rising Farm be sure to look for Ms. Alisa, she won't be hard to find...she's the one always working hard!

Meet Marcus
