California turned a dirt lot beside Highway 41 into a $1.6M garden with 18 planting beds, murals, and space to grow food

Once an unwelcoming dirt lot, the area near Freeway 41 and McKinley Avenue has blossomed into the McKinley Peace Garden, thanks to a $1.6 million investment by Caltrans. This vibrant community garden features eighteen concrete planting beds and a shaded open-air shelter, offering affordable gardening opportunities to residents. Local dignitaries came together for the ribbon-cutting ceremony, celebrating not just the garden’s beauty but also the enhanced community spirit of Fresno.
