Earlier today, went to public breakfast panel session on community gardens and urban agriculture initiatives in our area.
Coincidentally, many current community gardens are located quite near existiing bike routes... The city didn't plan it that way initially..

Municipal gardening workshops for the public all over Metro Vancouver, are becoming overbooked now ..great contrast to just a few years ago.
And a goal to have 2,010 community gardens by Jan. 2010, as part of the post-Olympic legacy. More of a catchy branding strategy for public action, but it's working 'cause the city is already surpassing 1,700 community gardens at this time.
