Alice’s Garden was started in 2006 as part of the Johnsons Park Neighborhood Association initiative to revitalize the area. Alice’s Garden is located on N. 20th Street, right next to Johnsons Park. Individuals and organizations can purchase their own “plots” and plant a small garden in this plot. The Urban Open Space Foundation has also proposed that they create a shelter for classes to be held in association with UW-Extension’s gardening programs and Milwaukee Public Schools’ Brown Street Academy.
Personally when I saw Alice’s Garden I thought that it had a long way to go. This might be due to the time of year I visited. It was a fenced off area and you could see small square plots divided off. There were about 15 plots or so. I would assume that they will probably begin planting soon, with spring in full force, and this garden will really come to life.
