Friends,
This is a serious request for technical assistance from Mr. Russ LeCount of the
Bissell Gardens in the Bronx, NY.
Mr. Russ LeCount is the real deal, a community gardener who has done remarkable
work in neighborhood greening in the Bronx, and is additionally a fine
arborist.
Russ LeCount is a vital, retired guy, who was not "born yesterday," needs to
have a few good, professionally designed proposals on "top down," community
garden start ups to tinker with, for presentation to governmental agencies,
elected officials and/or foundation funders.
While I am not a fan of "top down," starts for community gardens, preferring
them to "organically grow," from the communities in which they are sited, Mr.
Russ LeCount is one of the few guys I know who can make this work, and then
attract gardeners to work with him to give the garden permanence and
sustainability.
Community garden program directors and coordinators - please comb your files
and forward digital and/or hard copy versions of your best community start-up
proposals to:
Russ Le Count from Bissel Gardens Inc.
4378 Wickham Ave., Bx NY 10466-1810
Voice 718-325-6111 Fax 718-994-6354
E-mail:
Visit the Garden on Bissel Ave.
Garden is open 24/7 or call for tour.
Thanking you in advance for your consideration of this request,
Adam Honigman
Gardener, Hell's Kitchen, NYC, VP DeWitt Clinton Park Conservancy

Adam,
Need sample new garden proposal to doctor and submit. May have
two locations in mind one Bx and one Westchester. Also, see attached
free work shop on fruit trees. A nursery may give us some of their
rejects. Thanks for your time and interest.
