peoples garden NYC
fresh & healthy food–”of and for the people”.
for me, a veggie garden at city hall represents our city’s commitment to making nutritious foods available to all of our citizens. we need to be using our open spaces more effectively–wisely. plus, the sense of community created as we grow together, is something we can all dig.
if this sounds good to you, please consider signing this petition for a veggie garden at NYC city hall.
TO: Mayor Michael Bloomberg:
We, the undersigned people of New York City, respectfully request that a vegetable garden be planted in front of City Hall.
This garden will represent New Yorkers’ commitment to education, public service, healthy eating, and environmental stewardship. This garden will be tended by NYC public school students, in collaboration with the NYC Department of Parks & Recreation and our region’s talented gardeners and farmers. The harvest will be donated to a nearby food pantry to feed the hungry.
This garden will represent the vision of a more sustainable, livable City for all New Yorkers, and will contribute to achieving the intents of PLANYC by 2030.
A garden like this sets a great example for other cites. NYC is the city others aspire to be. Set the example that others may follow!
