I was thinking about this, too. There are some community gardens in 
Philadelphia that I'm willing to bet have a waiting list. I wonder if some of 
those wait-listed folks would be willing to take spaces in one of the 
faltering gardens until their numbers come up for spaces in something closer 
to home. 

As another possibility, there are often suburban congregations looking to 
make a positive contribution in the city. They can often be reached via their 
regional governing bodies.
