I live in the Carrick area and have found the perfect spot for a community garden . I contacted the owner everything seemed to be going fine then all of the sudden things got crazy . Insurance , ownership , back taxes and I've hit a wall . Most of you know how beneficial a community garden can be and I want so much for it to happen . The only way I can get help from the city is if the land is given up or taken away from the owner . I don't know how to tell him this .
I really would like to get this lot gutted out before winter . Planted by next spring . Come harvest season all the food will be going to the free farmers market I'm starting at my local food bank . IT HAS TO HAPPEN !!!
If anyone has any advice or good contacts please let me know . I feel like I've called about 20 people about this issue . I maybe want to reach someone who has started a community garden before ; I think that would be most helpful .
BTW : The owner doesn't live here and wants to go home but is giving me a chance to sort things out . Time is a factor!
