monograph is on the website

L* B*

The monograph that Adam mentions, "National Community Garden Survey"
 published in June 1998 by Suzanne Monroe-Santos, is on the ACGA website
(Adam & Sally -Anne, you knew that!) . It is available for download at
http://www.communitygarden.org/pubs/index.html

I would also suggest that you look at "What Good Is Community Greening" also
available at the same url.
