Planting Garden Platoons

25 people in a neighbourhood, could really
Impact the area for good' if ten 
Committed gardeners keen; could, gave advice to
Others, say a minimum of fifteen?  All within
A half-mile square.  Gardens on a minimum
Also fifty feet square! To plant some fruit trees
And beds of veg? Rows of corn beside the
Shed to allow a beekeeper, for pollination
It would feed that group; could inspire a 
Nation? On large village greens, would what be sown? I can
See  possibilities
Almost endless on the growing  I say a healthy initiative what say 
You?
Could it be aided? Would the government help too?
That might mend
Some fences? and cause cohesion
With some in politics who aren’t just like a
Damaging lesion.'

Susan Woodrow August 8, 2023 at 9:45 AM Been wanting to join community gardens here but it’s all i can do to keep up with mine!! I have tried to motivate others to garden as well but only those predisposed seem to take to it :) Joe Maverick August 8, 2023 at 2:32 PM Hello Susan, as always it would take drive, and determination my idea is On areas from 50ft sq so up On that some in the locale nay Have an acre or two? It should Be possible for 25 people on aggregate to make it work.? 2/3 doing the smaller areas and bigger grouos on the half Or acre size plots spare food Could go to care homes or hospices ? It would take just One working cell to find out.' If its viable Thank you for commenting!
