Good to know about other community gardens. They are always encouraging. There is a woman in NYC whose name I am not going to recall at the moment, who rebuilt a horrific rundown park in NYC and converted it into a place of real beauty.
It's featured in a documentary I saw recently. Sorry I can't be more specific.Hope you cross its path. I think it could possibly be a part of Central Park?
Seeing your photos made me feel happy somehow. So wonderful to see people taking a run down space and making it beautiful!
I drive by this garden during my commute and have always wanted to get in there and explore further. I'm glad to finally know the name of it!
It really is an inspiration, isn't it? We have a vacant space in my suburb of London, and I'd love to turn that into a community garden, but I suspect I can't devote the time and energy to it that it would need to get off the ground.
I just stumbled across this article, and was delighted to see my beloved garden show up in the old country. I am sorry you couldn't get in - if you are back over here again, please get in touch with me, and I will be happy to open it for you. Btw, it was in 1991, not four years ago, that La Perla Garden was established in vacant lots that had been a drug hangout. If you want to see more photos, google images for La Perla Garden.
