Celina Ishahak is a volunteer with Green Haven Project, a community garden located in Miami’s Overtown, and she gave CBS4 a tour of the produce that is ready to harvest on the site on NW 16 Street.

“Right now, we have carrots, eggplant, garlic chive, kale, cranberry hibiscus, papaya, and moringa which is in abundance everywhere, and Thai basil, too,” said Ishahak.

This is a community garden that has been in existence for the past three and half years in the middle of Historic Black Overtown.
