## Resource

Fresno just transformed a forgotten dirt lot beside Freeway 41 into the vibrant McKinley Peace Garden — a community oasis for gardening, gathering, and growth. Funded by Caltrans’ Clean CA Program at $1.6 million, the space now features 18 planting beds, shaded seating, restrooms, and colorful murals by local artists. Officially opened with ribbon-cutting ceremonies, the garden is part of the city’s Beautify Fresno initiative and managed by Parks and Recreation. Residents can rent a plot for $41/year — including water — and free workshops are planned to help everyone get growing. A powerful example of turning neglected land into a thriving community asset.
