Erin White <[email protected]> Hi All- In an advocacy effort for urban agriculture in Raleigh, one of the issues we are supporting is a more progressive allowance for community gardens in residential areas. The City is calling for special use permits to be required in most residential areas, which is a hardship for many low-budget community organizations. They suggest that in many residential zones, lots are large enough for community gardens in backyards (or sides). My question is this: Are there many examples in NC of community gardens on the same property as a residential home? Do people have stories or experiences to share? For instance, someone with a large backyard acts as the host for a community garden, in any kind or organizational arrangement. The community garden is actually on the same property as a house. I would love any thoughts on this, including benefits or cautions with this kind of arrangement. Thanks!
