Hi folks,
have found a nice sized piece of land behind our local library and next to the plunket rooms, putting a proposal to our local council for permission to strat a community garden, any advice or suggestions of what I should include in proposal would be greatly appreciated

Community garden
Our remote ancestors said to their mother Earth, "We are yours."
Modern humanity has said to Nature, "You are mine."
The Green Man has returned as the living face of the whole earth so that through his mouth we may say to the universe, "We are one."

Re: Community garden
Truth to tell, hg, I've got no idea.
But the first thoughts that cropped up were - is there local interest for a community garden, so that's why you've been looking or did you just spot it and think it'd be a good idea?
Would it be for growing veg, communally, or would everyone be entitled to a little plot of their own?
Have you got sufficient people to help draw and get consensus on a plan for the garden. I'm guessing the authorities would want to see some sort of plan before agreeing to anything.
You've probably got all these things organised already, but if not, hope they help.
