In July 2008, a team of student volunteers from the Institute for Collaborative Education and Lyons Community School returned to United Herkimer Garden in the Bed-Stuy section of Brooklyn. All of the things we built there last year were holding up fantastically. However, the garden members desperately needed us to build one more structure: a tool shed. We built it over the course of a week, using about 50% salvaged/reclaimed construction materials from ReBuilders Source. student construction team building the shed herkimer part II home projects the program about us donate
