Community Gardens

Just thought of something. Some urban areas have this concept of community gardens. Its interesting. Common public spaces can be allotted by the Municipality / development authority to interested residents who can grow their own gardens at their cost. The Municipality gives a master landscape design/ limitation within which the individual gardeners can design their space however they wish. A gardener could be allotted if resources permit to protect the area and water it. Public can view the gardens and gardeners can get the satisfaction of growing and having their efforts enjoyed by the public. Check out the wiki site to know All about Community Gardens. I think its a cool idea for Dehradun. Schools and others can be involved in it on a regular basis, develop community feeling and develop stake in their environment. Wonder if we can get enough committed people to start this in Dehradun? 

Let me know people if you know anyone who will be interested!
