Re: Oh.....Canada

Hey, if I can use Toronto and call it Canada to beat my local guys about the head and neck, why not?

It was my home garden, the Clinton Community Garden that did the square inch fundraiser back in the mid 80's ( and the only one that's done it, so far - until you.) http://www.clintoncommunitygarden.org

If you have this square centimeter sale anywhere on the web, or via e-mail, I'll share it with those folks who remember....

Best,

Well not too much praise to0 fast...  all Canadians are'nt as
enlightened as maybe Torontoians. Here in Winnipeg, we are on a smaller
scale like the gardens in South L.A. We have taken a page out of the
book of the gardens who had to sell their gardens by the square inch to
purchase it for the community and are embarking on a square centimeter
sale to preserve our garden from a Provincial NGO who wants to  guess
what..... housing. In a part of the city which currently has a deficit
of public open space. If anyonewho  has undertaken this attempt to save
their gardens could provide some detailed instructions that would be
wonderful. Currently we are working at becoming a non-profit so we can
set up a trust fund at the local Credit Union. Anything which anyone
could share would be helpful.
