gardens under power lines?

**Jen Dodd j*@ufl.edu**

I'm working with an apartment community right now that wishes to have a 
community garden.
Looks like the best option in the vicinity is a large greenway, which happens 
to be underneath a mass of powerlines.
It's optimal because of it's location and because it's city-owned and we can 
collaborate with our city parks program.

Does anyone have experience with lands like these?
Are there safety or health issues in spending time in these areas?

Please pass on the research or experience if you have it.

Thanks!
