I introduced myself to this listserv about a month ago. I am a Master's in Planning student at SUNY Buffalo and have begun work on a thesis about community gardens. I will be in NYC researching community gardens from Jan 7th - 11th. Could I ask for the assistance of some NYC gardeners? Would any knowledgeable people be interested in talking with me?
I have reviewed the topical literature and understand some of the pertinent issues. My thesis topic is not yet tightly defined but I hope to explore the nexus of community gardens and land use and land value. My hunch is that NYC could provide a sufficient "database" to answer whatever questions my thesis poses. I would appreciate any and all help with my research. I believe my work will provide useful information for community gardeners and planners. Sincerely, Brian Kehoe
