There isn't a day that goes by that I don't see news stories about the growing (pun is intended - thank you very much) trend of community gardens. People in sprawling, crowded urban areas are coming together to raise food especially in these recessionary times. One such urban farm is Ocean View Farms highlighted in an online story by Lindsay William-Ross: Growing Up: Why Angelenos Should Really Dig Gardening.
Even young, upscale urbanites are raising their own veggies and racing home from work to work in the soil of the garden.
Having begun in 1979, the Weldon Yerby Senior Citizen Garden in El Paso is way ahead of its time for sure. However, it is El Paso's best kept secret. Will there be other community gardens or even yardsharing?
