NY garden settlement

just read Sarah Ferguson's article in City Limits Weekly. Although I feel with every gardener
minding a patch of land that is still up for development without review, I
feel that the agreement found now is a very positive signal  as far as
recognizing the significance of these urban spaces not only to the people
that regularly use it, but to the whole city and even beyond.

I hope that many of those some 100 gardens subject to review in the local
planning boards will survive and also that at least some activists on  those
lots subject to immediate development will find an agreement with
developers.

Of course I´m most happy about all the gardens that will be saved for sure.
Our thoughts were with you for many years and perhaps this positive  - even
though nonmaterial - effort has contributed in some way or another.

I want to translate and publish Sarah's article in our quarterly
magazine "Space!" (Platz da!)- which we distribute on a non-for-profit base
to activists of Berlin's adventure playground and city farm association.

Greetings to all gardeners from Berlin-Kreuzberg, home of the first green MP voted directly by the people to the Bundestag (federal assembly of
parliament)
