Hello all, It's late spring and so it's no surprise that there's a lot of push for more community gardens (now!). This is causing all sorts of issues that seem to be sapping from our energy to just support existing community gardens. All this just re-enforces for me that we need permanent land for community gardens in order for them to fulfill their potential to benefit their communities.
Is there an argument already made (official and in writing) for permanent land for community gardens. What examples are there to make land permanent and whether the city/other government body is a partner in this goal? I sincerely apologize if this is written up somewhere already, but also there's been so many changes even in the last year, I wonder if there aren't new examples of city's helping to get permanent land for communtiy gardening. your input is greatly appreciated!
