Our Purpose

Isham Street Gardening and Other Optimistic Doings, or ISGOOD, is a neighborhood group which began in 2009. They are committed to helping create a more healthy, safe, and socially just environment and have done so through community gardening, relationship-building, neighborhood clean-ups, collaboration, and block parties. ISGOOD has become a catalyst for positive change in Burlington on Isham Street and they are now in the process of turning the corner - literally - and continuing community gardening on Hickok Street which connects to Isham Street.
