Here is what I think I suggested for a possible GPSCC project:
First, research what and how much space some local cities and the county have
already designated for public gardens. If it seems that there is a definite
need for more gardens in any of these communities, the GPSCC could publicly urge
(lobby) the particular city councils to provide more gardens for their
constituencies. (The party would have to state a good case for doing so,
however.)
The citizen gardeners, the environment and the community would be the
beneficiaries of "A Garden for Everyone Movement."
Also, it would be great if individual home owners and condo complexes would
convert some of their water sucking lawns into productive gardens that would
probably use less water and would be just as - or more - beautiful.
Yipes, it's after Midnight.
Nighty night,
Fred
