4MX GREENHOUSE
In collaboration with artist Jordan Weber, the 4MX Greenhouse was erected in the summer of 2018. It’s design is installed in memory of a shotgun-style home for the purpose of storing and growing produce with our Shabazz Community Garden. The front of the house has a porch attached with the intention of inviting the community to interact via programming throughout the year. Inside, the rear has an elevated stage to assist with staging during seasonal programming to include yoga sessions, meditation and workshops.

As an A Blade of Grass Fellow for Socially Engaged Art, Weber traveled to the Malcolm X Memorial Foundation in North Omaha, NE, the birthplace of the Black Power leader, to create a living artwork.

BETTY SHABAZZ COMMUNITY GARDEN
Located on the North East side of the Malcolm X Birthplace, the Shabazz Community Garden was relaunched in April 2018. With over 100 volunteers tending to the garden and assisting with its development monthly since April, the garden will also grow produce to be installed into the 4MX Greenhouse located on the main pavilion near the former address of Malcolm X.
We are currently seeking volunteers to join our family! If interested, reach out to us at garden@malcolmxfoundation.org for more details. Be sure to check our events page for details on how to join the garden committee and get involved!
