Brick Gardens is a social enterprise that turns vacant spaces into indoor, vertical, hydroponic (the process of growing plants without soil) gardens that aim to feed local communities in food deserts. The organization has various garden projects in place at the time of this writing, including one in Madisonville (pictured throughout the gallery), Bond Hill, Roselawn, and one on Xavier University’s campus with plans to add a site in Lincoln Heights.

<p>Utilizing the unused properties for agricultural production not only creates a source of fresh and healthy produce, but gardening also serves as a therapeutic practice as well as an outdoor educational tool that promotes community engagement. Brick Gardens has partnered with Neighborhood Grow, a nonprofit community economic development organization, to expand its reach and collaboration with residents. Brick Gardens also partners with local schools and youth programs to provide education about farming. / Image: Catherine Viox // Published: 7.1.20</p>

The Madisonville Garden Market features a greenhouse and a traditional garden. The indoor garden features shelves of plants that are stacked up and fed by a water reservoir on the bottom. They don’t require a lot of space, which is one of the reasons Brick Gardens wanted to incorporate resourceful indoor gardens into communities to extend the garden season. / Image: Catherine Viox // Published: 7.1.20
