2. …2008
• Solitary 9 acre garden plot location
• 189 garden plots
• Area zoned as future development
• Current residential development forced
relocation of gardens
3. Relocation
Challenges:
1) Site Selection
• Site life span and size must balance
cost/benefits of developing and maintaining
sites
• Site constraints: funding, appropriate soils,
access to water, sunlight, vehicle access and
site serenity.
• Land use and current use conflicts (i.e. zoning,
additional traffic in areas, loss of green space,
agricultural land practices prior to gardens).
4. 2)Site Preparation – soil sterilization &
amendments
3) Public Expectation
• New opportunity for community food
provisions?
• Adding a garden to every community?
• Moving soil (plot by plot) to a new location
so no soil re-conditioning required?
5. Opportunities:
• Community development
• Organic produce, healthy & sustainable
lifestyle
• Easy access/sustainable transportation
• Full & half size plots cater to wider range of
people
• Low probability for future development in
new sites making them more permanent
6. Site Criteria
– Even dispersal across city
– Convenience for gardening
– Room for expansion
– Topography
– Soil structure
– Sunlight quality
– Obstructions
– Site safety and security
– Vehicle access
– Serenity
– Alternative land uses
– Adjacent land uses
