757 Creative ReUse Center

For folks who've been wondering "what's the flooding situation at the new place?" This is high tide with moderate flooding. Some of the parking lot is under water as is the intersection at Mayflower and 42nd St/Virginia Ave. If you're visiting us and there is tidal flooding, approach from Colley Ave, you'll still be able to get into the parking lot from 42nd Street. Do not attempt to drive through flooded streets, a car died in that intersection yesterday. Stay tuned next week for more information about our grand reopening, Sunday, October 4th from 12-6....

Hey friends!

What a wonderful day of community! 🌱

A huge thank you to Community Farmers and 757 Creative ReUse Center for such a great Back to Our Roots event! It was amazing to see the turnout, with so many folks getting their hands dirty and helping bring a new community garden to life in Norfolk!

We were so grateful to have had the opportunity to teach a class on at-home and had such a wonderful time talking to folks about second chances for food scraps, cardboard, and everyday habits. We even sent nearly 10 lbs of cardboard home with folks to be put to good use! 📦

It was also great seeing our friends from Coastal Castings, LLC 🪱 and talking about and and getting to meet some of the wonderful folks from Elizabeth River Project as well!

Thank you to everyone who showed up for our community and spent their morning making this such a special day!🪷
