Not sure how the garden is going to come off. The property is in private hands, so we need to know what kinds of uses they would allow before we get into it any further. <BR/><BR/>The idea is that it would be used by local residents, especially immigrant populations, from nearby apartment buildings, who have no place of their own in which to garden.<BR/><BR/>The property is about 3/4 acre, which is huge for Brooklyn, let alone NYC. A lot of potential, but again, still too early to tell what we'l be allowed to do with it.Chris Kreussling (Flatbush Gardener)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08467595231097695124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21724582.post-60544738839411163962007-03-11T10:16:00.000-04:002007-03-11T10:16:00.000-04:00I had to laugh about the dog poo issue.

I am curious to know how the issue gets resolved at your community garden.Christahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01905386163490128028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21724582.post-9639057235420159212007-03-08T07:30:00.000-05:002007-03-08T07:30:00.000-05:00How did the meeting go?

Maybe an outer border of wild/natives with an interior "fussy" bed... some benches...<BR/> Dog runs are usually mulch... there's no way grass can survive!katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07752651698609919557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21724582.post-73980567305073562572007-03-06T17:12:00.000-05:002007-03-06T17:12:00.000-05:00Xris - No you wouldn't be nuts.

I haven't blogged about it yet because I don't know how definite it is. I'll know more after a meeting tomorrow night.<BR/><BR/>There looking for a "coordinator" and I've been asked.
