In collaboration with the Rid-All Green Partnership, UMDC is excited to begin work on this new construction project utilizing vacant land on Harvard Avenue, east of East 93rd Street. The facility will provide affordable housing options for male and female veterans, many of whom have unmet housing needs in Southeast Cleveland. Rid-All Green Partnership will engage the veterans through interactive programming onsite, teaching best practices for successful urban agriculture – promoting healthy living and providing actionable stability for our veterans.

RICH HISTORY
The Miles Garden Log Cabin & Herb Garden located at 12210 Miles Avenue is a designated City of Cleveland landmark that was built in 1908 by Antonin Zverina. It was originally built by Mr. Zverina, a local grocer and chicory dealer, as a playhouse for his five children. It soon became a place for family gatherings.
In 1963, the Zverina Family donated the Log Cabin and land to the Cleveland Board of Education. Herbert G. Meyer of the Horticulture Division of the school system designated it an herb garden. Landscape architect Henry Pree was the designer of the garden. Horticulture programs continue at the site today.
