Community gardens – boxes and tubs of vegetables and flowers — are springing up on 6th and 7th Avenues from Rose south. Some intersections have boxes on all four corners.
One wonders what is going on. Sign says a “501c.3 founded in Venice is a community garden project based on positive intention whose purpose is to create abundance and unity.” The claim is that every “patch of soil or empty space has the potential to feed a community with nutrition, connection, and hope. The food grown will be shared amongst the neighborhood and donated to children and others in need of organic, nutritious food. Contact communityhealinggardens.org or email at communityhealinggardens@gmail.com.”
One wonders why the planting was in a box rather than in the ground but “wonderful community idea and wonderful show of community spirit,” remarked one passerby.
