Vel's Purple Oasis

Vel's Purple Oasis is a community-based urban farm situated on one acre of land where Cleveland's Fairfax neighborhood meets University Circle. Gardening first began at the Oasis in April of 2008, as a way to get members of the surrounding community involved with each other and to promote a healthy lifestyle through growing and eating high-quality produce. Vel’s Purple Oasis Garden is a blend of market and community gardening and is a living example of sustainability and healthy living.
