Broadmoor Gardens
The BIA, in collaboration with Broadmoor resident Dr. Jelagat Cheruiyot of Tulane University and her Urban Agroecology and Sustainability in New Orleans and service learning course students and interns, is maintaining the Broadmoor Food Forest, Broadmoor Food Pantry, and the Broadmoor Rain Garden in our community. Each of these Broadmoor Gardens is an accessible, equitable, and safe place for residents to gather. We envision each garden to serve as community hubs that support the BIA's efforts to improve the quality of life for all residents. We encourage all Broadmoorians to stop by and engage with each green space as an individual or group.

2021 S Dupre St, New Orleans, LA, 70125
This garden produces fresh vegetables and fruit for Broadmoor Food Pantry clients and friends of this garden who help out. Watering plants, tending to garden beds, and ensuring the area is litter-free are some of the fun activities friends of this space do to keep it thriving. Providing direct access to additional fresh produce for Food Pantry clients is what makes this site incredibly special.

We've created our local solution for flood mitigation in our low-lying neighborhood. This garden has water-loving plants and two bioswales. The Broadmoor Rain Garden has the distinct purpose of capturing rainwater that falls on the site plus additional street runoff to help reduce localized flooding and improve water quality.
3730 Toledano Ave, New Orleans, LA, 70125
An emerging community gathering space that features garden beds, tables and seating, and a variety of fruits and vegetables. Explore this thriving space with us and participate in some fun activities to keep this garden thriving! Produce grown in this garden helps us increase food security in the neighborhood. Contributions from this garden are given to our neighbors. This site is making fresh fruits and vegetables available to those who help out in this garden. The Food Forest would benefit from engagement by you and your family!
