This is a terrific project. I will come and take a look during my next visit to Eugene. I live in Yachats (on the ocean but near Eugene). We have a generous citizen who has allowed us to create a community garden on her vacant lot. She is now willing to sell this lot to us for a very discounted price. Would any one have some good ideas about finding a funding source to actually be able to purchase our land? We want all of the efforts of our gardeners to produce into the future and at this time we can only offer one year at a time. We are able to find resources of supplies and improvements but not for the purchase. Thank you for any advice.

I will have to do some more investigating to be positive. It is too bad that it is temporary. This has raised a few concerns with me. Judge Aiken mentioned they are considering looking for a place to relocate the garden after the three years is up. But, of course, this is not the same since it will be in a different neighborhood, and the many hours of hard work and sweat will be 'lost'.
