["Community gardens blossom"; as submitted by ReutersVideo on April 16, 2009; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oR7fRmeCqBA]
I am interested in finding out whether anyone in Ward Five would like to get involved in starting / helping out with a community garden --- and/or knows of a good site for same? I have suggested that along the roadside of the YWCA "might" be a good idea (If the YWCA and others were "on board") - and I would be willing to help out to the degree that I am able.

Thank You,

Reviewing these posts, I find I made a big "oopsy" here! The community garden idea should say "YMCA" (Ward 5) - not "YMCA" (Uptown/Clinton Avenue)! My apologies!
Maybe that (lol) is why I didn't get any responses?
Perhaps next year?
The YMCA youth rec program participants might enjoy a project such as this - and there seems to be some on-site property that could (along with the general environment) use a little TLC!
It wouldn't even have to be a vegetable garden... The YMCA could order trees (real cheap) from the Arbor Day Foundation (I got ten baby trees for 10 dollars!) and use them as a teaching tool (?!?)
That sounds like a win-win-win-win (a little less mowing - a little more (not overly demanding) landscaping - some learning and some fun for the young folks - to me!

YMCA

YMCA
YMCA!
I'm going to have to make myself write this like a kid on a chalkboard!
This particular idea (I prefer the tree idea) is for the park at the YMCA - NOT the YWCA (a totally different layout!)
Sorry. I'm going to move this uptop and write it (I hope, I hope!) right!
