Eden's garden
Pisgah Village in Highland Park reenvisions low-income senior housing, reconnecting people to their food. And to one another.
Ten women gathered around a few tables and at a sink one recent Friday afternoon to make soup, rice with vegetables and barbecued fish for a community potluck dinner.
That ordinary act — making a meal, repeated monthly — represents a profound plan to integrate food and shelter at Pisgah Village, a housing development in Highland Park for low-income senior citizens that aims to preserve the health and dignity of its residents.
Everywhere at Pisgah, named for the hill from which Moses saw the promised land, there are signs of that plan.
