Community plots, like Fort Collins’ Garden of Eatin’, are sprouting up across the nation and producing fresh food and neighborly bonds. Article here.

I think this is a great trend and has many benefits:

  • People might meet their neighbors
  • People will be eating better quality produce
  • No environmental impacts of food transportation
  • People might lose a few lbs gardening

The list could go on. I recently read an article about an urban garden proponnant who said whenever he walks through a city he sees all the places where people could be growing their own produce. Since I heard that I have been doing the same in DC. So many problems can be solved by such a simple solution.
