The gardens primarily serve two historically impoverished neighborhoods included in the City's "Pocket of Poverty" status and currently designated as "blighted." The garden's activities and development seek to engage residents in the act of producing food, creating a model for the productive use of vacant land, providing a public gathering space, and serving as a common point of collaboration between young and old as well as newcomers and long-time residents in this gentrifying part of town.

A great tie in here would be a marketing data agreement with folks like amazon and ebay as the gift delivery vehicle with your firm capuring affiiliate or referral sales. This would free you up to make your recommendation system the best on the planet. Great idea and keep it up.

Water meters are $2500 and exceed our garden's budget. Grant funding is a challenge as many do not fund capital improvements, which many consider this to be.
