Community Gardens

"According to the Trust for Public Land, “today there are more than 29,000 garden plots in city parks in just the 100 largest U.S. Cities.” That is a lot of space and a lot of leverage, and it doesn’t even include gardens at
faith communities, non-profits, businesses, private land, and those in smaller cities, suburban communities, and rural areas!"
