In Charlotte, North Carolina, one church-based organization-Charlotte
Green-is currently pretty much synonymous with community gardening. They
began in the early '90s, inspired by Philadelphia, and now sponsor nine
gardens, from small to large house lot size, all in low income predominately
African-American neighborhoods (the sponsoring church, Myers Park Methodist,
is located in Charlotte's most exclusive neighborhood and is predominantly
white). Rumor has it that the nearby college town of Davidson has a community
organic garden, started last year. Other community gardens have existed in
the past, but all have disappeared.
