Baisley Park is another one of Hood’s projects that makes a strong impact on the community. This project is in Queens New York so it’s showing how Hood expands his work from coast to coast. The idea of this park is to be a community garden for the people of Jamaica Queens, and 50Cent’s G-Unity Foundation funded the project. This project shows how Hood likes to connect and help out the black community. For inspiration of the garden Hood based his design off of the Kitchen Gardens of Villandry France. Creating different spaces for different plant materials. There is an underground cistern that collects rainwater and that is used for the irrigation of the gardens. The rainwater catchment system provides a space for the local children to play underneath. Having children be active in the garden is a big part of the project because it is a community garden and once those children become older they will be able to take care of the garden. Hood wants there to be a sense of ownership of the garden for the community members. It is a great way to make people understand responsibility and teach them the values of growing their own food. The fun design with colors and spaces to play makes it a place that everyone should be drawn towards. Also the use of plants as a fence hides the garden and makes people want to find out what it is. It’s great that Hood extends his work to New York to do a project that isn’t one that gets a ton of attention; it’s for a small group of people. That tells me Hood truly wants to help these people.
