Late last fall in the rain, I interviewed David Buddle of Prima Properties about the community garden his development company was setting up in downtown Vancouver.
Just 8 month later, on a sunny June Saturday, I interview a very happy community gardener who is successfully growing food on her plot.

Your reply had nothing at all to do with my comment. You should have replied to UniqueExposures, since his/her comment was the only one that had anything to do with community impact and the reasonings of planting this stuff. My comment had only to do with woman being a flat out liar about how she grew this stuff.

Sorry to be blunt but this whole "green/eco" trend is going down the wrong direction. There are better, bigger and more efficient ways to get people to live "greener" but having a garden in an area right next to the clubs is completely out of place. Great ideals but wrong implementations . Patches of randomness, no matter how good the intention is, cannot be expected to mingle well together.

I hate to be a nitpicker, but this garden did not grow all of what they showed in a month. She claims to have planted the corn a month ago. That is impossible. It takes corn almost 2 weeks to sprout and it can not grow chest high in 2 weeks. It would have taken 2 MONTHS. LOL

Every city should implement this system in all areas. I think people would be amazed at how well it would work and actually bring back the community feel that most have long forgotten.
