Here's an email a fellow gardener, Victoria, sent me yesterday.
Thought you might find this news item interesting in regard to community gardens....This community garden in Brooklyn fought back after being threatened with destruction and won!
I don't know if you know, but that's just what happened to the original Belmont Victory gardens, which were located on Concord Ave. The Town wanted to build new athletic fields and relocated the gardens to the wilds of Rock Meadow, which they had just purchased from McLean Hospital, circa 1962.
