Graceland-Wilson Neighbors Association was founded in 2002 by a group of neighbors. Our first years were busy with summer BBQs and a holiday progressive dinner people still talk about.

The Fire Station garden was the first community garden through a joint effort with GWNA and the great guys at our fire station. We hosted a fundraiser at Frankie J’s, now the Spot, and raised more than $3,000. The City’s community garden folks provided the plants and Steve Choe, a neighbor and landscape architecture, created the garden design.

But like all good things, block clubs take time and effort. Over the past few years our block club suffered from neglect. We decided it’s time to revive our block club, reacquaint ourselves with our neighbors and work for a better community.
