The Trevallyn Community Garden Proposal in Perspective

If "Community Garden" here is meant to mean something like 'plots' and 'garden allotments' that are springing up in urban communities elsewhere there may well be a gap between the idea that is being communicated and the one that is being imagined.

In urban communities elsewhere where community gardens are becoming fashionable again, individual households tend to lack the space for such gardens. Indeed the purpose of the quarter acre block was to provide this space. Trevallyn is planned around the quarter acre block. By-and-large family households on Trevallyn have sufficient space for a productive food garden albeit that many may not have them.
