Thanks for that feedback Adam. All good points to their silly argument.

With this, I would suggest that you contact your local office of the Trust for Public Land for advice on how to best set yourself up. The guys at the City of Sunnyvale haven't gotten it with the automatic turnover of garden beds to :give everyone" a chance to garden. Because most folk, to be honest, really don't want to garden. And if you set up a "public service," component to your community garden, like a viewing garden, or a "row for the hungry," to supply a local food bank/soup kitchen, the folks who like the "idea," of gardening will dissapear almost magically in favor of hard core gardeners who will want to put down roots. Your guys at City Hall really need to talk to the garden program folks in Portland - or get the idea that gardening permits are similar to getting permits to golf or play tennis on your city's courts. Nothing more, nothing less.

Also, are there any community gardens that limit the length of time a garden bed is leased to one owner? The City of Sunnyvale is at the moment arguing that we should have automatic turnover of garden beds to give "everyone" a chance to garden. I say allow attrition to take care of this and if there is more demand then beds than all the more reason to create another community garden location.
