HNC is contributing to the purchase and installation of security cameras, fencing and a playground. This project is being completed in collaboration with Prop-K specified funding, the Central Hollywood Neighborhood Council and the Hollywood Arts Council. Estimated completion is mid 2007.
Noguera Educational Community Garden
Just seven years ago, the corner of Fountain and June Streets was a blighted, empty lot. Today it is a thriving, attractive garden – complete with outdoor kitchen, evening lighting and community pavilion – where Hollywood students can get hands-on experience in subjects ranging from plant species, the environment and weather to organic gardening and solar energy. Programs include daily classes, after-school programs and community workshops. (See photos of the garden)
Recently, a state-of-the-art weather station was installed in the garden, enabling students to learn how weather affects plant growth, soil conditions and the environment.
