Is that pressure treated lumber he used to build the raised beds? If so, that's a very bad idea, it leeches arsenic into the soil... I hope he used cedar or something like that instead. ...and a garden without any gardeners? Weird. I agree with some of the commenters here, it looks like a PR gimmick without really thinking the project through. This may turn out to be an expensive heartbreak story when he decides to build something else on the site and ejects the gardeners who show up.

If I weren't so prejudiced against corporations, I'd say this is a great development. But knowing the greed that motivates corporations, I'm sure this is a sales gimmick that appeals to a special portion of buyers.

Great idea. Better than a fenced off parking lot.

Imagine...families living in the downtown with 'all' the amenities still want to have soil for the children! Nature is important to people, regardless of where they live and the so-called amenities available to them. If anything, I hope this project triggers the developer to rethink the opportunities that are provided for people to (re)connect with nature.

Have you thought forward to what happens once your gardeners have invested their time, money, effort and love to the garden. . .and then you decide to rip it up for a development???
Great PR idea, but no thanks. Give the lot to the community and don't look back. If you tear it up in 1, 2, 10, 20 years after people have developed it for you. . .you will look bad no matter what. It takes more than 1 year to build a garden.

I agree with dionysusstar. This is an idea that ought to spread! Yes, it wont be forever, but even a year might make a difference in many peoples lives. And besides, it would be beautiful to watch as it grew :)

very cool that they would be willing to do that...if that was a wide spread common practice that could result in alot of community gardens.
