I found this article in the paper today! Thought some of you might be interested. Do any of you have one near you?

I hadn\'t heard of it but what a neato idea! Around here, we have community gardens. You pay ten or twenty dollars to the community extension and get a garden plot. You plant, tend, and harvest it yourself. We did it one year and it was really cool. I wish I had room to do it again! It was nice having fresh veggies but a pain to drive to the plot every day to gather and all.
This just seems like a good way to use conservation land and such. Thought you might be interested!
poop. i need to fill out a form to read the article... i really don\'t like those. feels like having to give my driver\'s license to buy allergy medication. oh, wait, i do have to do that these days. yeesh.
anyway - i don\'t know the gist of the article but i do love a nice community garden. there used to be some in NYC that were wonderful places of fellowship and sharing. haven\'t seen that in suburban Northern Cal.
Shoot! I didn\'t realize you had to subscribe to read online! I\'m sorry. That\'s annoying for me, too! I wonder if it would be okay to post it here. Or would that be like stealing it? Any thoughts, gkg?
technically, one is not supposed to repost - it is copyrighted material. i wouldn\'t do it, but i have seen it done. generally, i go for the email option, but that\'s rather limiting. sorry!
