Luckily enough, Grove Hills is looking for ideas on what to do with the empty lot next door. And Farah has the perfect one—make it into a community garden to bring back a little green to their block! But when Farah finds out that she isn't the only one with a plan for the future of Grove Hills, she'll have to turn to her community for help.
