The "Eagan Resource Center" foodshelf has worked with the community to create gardens in several locations around the city to grow fresh produce for its clients. This garden stands next to Mt. Calvary Lutheran Church.
Who are the "clients"...the gardeners or people in need? I don't think the issue re. House of Hope's fence for their garden for poor folks has been resolved yet.
Great initiative. I hope it will work fine. I have seen so many gardens (not necessarily for poor people) in California. There people sometimes convert their flower garden into a vegetable garden. I have also seen several vegetable gardens near schools, which I found an excellent way to teach kids to be self-sufficient and to respect nature.

That is awesome. Kermit is right, it is easy being green.
next they need to figure out a way to can the extra fruits and vegetables so that they can spread out this bounty during the rest of the year.
These are such a good idea Leif, growing fresh food has to be good however you look at it!
I am a fan of community gardens in concept, but alas, I am not a vegetable gardener. I like the colorful and frivolous flowers.
Fresh produce. Always an excellent idea.
What a wonderful idea!
Love, love garden-fresh veggies.
