City of Kingston Community Gardens Policy
Wednesday, January 13th, 2010Have your say: Comment on the City of Kingston’s draft Community Garden Policy
There are several aspects to this document that are really positive, including:
1. that the city is taking community gardens seriously and proposing to support their development and operations in a number of ways
2. that they propose appointing a Community Gardens Coordinator to help facilitate the development and operations of community gardens
3. that they are proposing to set aside a small fund to allocate to Community gardens for set up and improvements Some of us are concerned, however, that a number of the points outlined in the document may actually inhibit our ability to develop and run community gardens with ease in this city.
If you are interested in and supportive of the growth of community gardens in our city, please take a few minutes to review the draft policy: (http://www.cityofkingston.ca/pdf/recreation/parks/CommunityGardensPolicy_Draft.pdf ) and submit your comments to Liz Cartwright lcartwright@cityofkingston.ca by Thursday January 14th.
