Our Story
Legacy Heritage was founded in 2020 by Consuelo Bradley in Montgomery (Montgomery County) Alabama. An accomplished African American wedding and event facilitator. The vison of this 501(c)(3) foundation emerged for this twenty-year Montgomery resident and Chicago, Illinois native during the height of the Coronavirus Pandemic while managing her for-profit business that wanted to take the lead in developing green spaces for public gardens and pathogen protected public meeting areas and was devastated at the penurious state of the community surrounding her chosen land. Her vison unfolded in the mission statement of Legacy Heritage: Develop a self-sufficient, life empowering, leadership skillset in disadvantaged minority communities of Montgomery located in district 3. Mrs. Bradley has over 25 years of experience in event and program facilitation and implementing detailed project management components across all industry topics.

Newtown Community GardenIn furtherance of this mission, Legacy Heritage directs its efforts, energies and resources towards educational and community developmental programming and related research projects for at risk African American and Latino residents and their families in district 3.
The implementation of community food security gardens in the food deserts located in many underserved and impoverished minority communities in district 3 with a special focus on long neglected and underserved communities like Newtown, and offering free programs to help participants develop a working knowledge of medical, therapeutic and recreational gardening and the introduction of pathogen protected meeting components researched to reduce the spread of all airborne pathogens while gathering. After finishing a successful landscaping and lite construction gifting program, Legacy Heritage will be able to strengthen connections to the fresh fruits and vegetable supply for over 1900 households in District 3. The Bradley Bernard Beacon Community Garden created from the efforts of The New Newtown Redevelopment Project will empower the community with a self-sustained plan for supplementing their food supply of healthy food long term. The garden will serve as a catalyst for strengthening the presence of medical, therapeutic and recreational gardening, while creating an individually adaptable, self-sustaining, pathogen protected food plan in the community. Legacy Heritage has been commended for taking the lead in these efforts by Alabama Governor Kay Ivey and Montgomery Mayor Steven Reed, respectively.

Covid Careful Campaign
We invite you to view The New Newtown Community Development Project and get to know us and our plan for the beautification of Newtown. Recently endorsed by Governor Kay Ivey through her Revive Alabama grant program, The Covid Careful Campaign, researched and developed by Consuelo Bradley, owner of Elite Event Planning, in collaboration with Maya St. Bernard, owner of Avid Diva, can significantly reduce your personal exposure to the coronavirus while attending, when the components to the campaign are strictly enforced and monitored for compliance. Our project includes procuring, renovating, and landscaping undeveloped land into outdoor family friendly venues and community gardens that comply with all the components of the Covid Careful Campaign and we need your help to complete our work. We are seeking donations monetarily, physical resources, instructional information, or labor to reach our goal.

Legacy Heritage is on a mission to create change on two fronts affecting low income and underserved communities in the Montgomery Alabama area. The need for a working knowledge of uniformly enforced zones where covid careful components are utilized and monitored for compliance in community gathering areas and to reduce food insecurity by introducing self-reliant community gardening programs that will supplement community food supply, provide education on healthy eating, social therapy and engage avid and novice gardeners in a self-sustaining food security program.
Our open air venues optimize ventilation that allow airborne pathogens to dissipate in a timely manner to maintain a lowered exposure level while gathering. Our vision of edible scenery is one of a kind and will be the first of this nature in many of our River Region communities.
