Upon first look at the vacant lot on 5th Street in the Hunting Park section of Philadelphia, one would have thought it an insurmountable challenge to clean and level the area. The brush was wildly over grown; there was trash and debris covering the ground and a huge Mulberry tree that had sprouted in the middle of the lot. The neighbors on the block called it "The Mulberry Trash Tree" because people would just dump trash all around the tree and no one ever picked it up. In addition to all of this waste, there were also tons of broken cinder blocks, glass and concrete flooring from the basement of what used to be a home scattered all over this lot. Read full story.
