UPDATE: I really want to make a proposal for our local parks - am I being unrealistic?
Hey No Lawns community!
A couple weeks ago I posted my proposal for urban community gardens here
You guys gave me some really good feedback. Some key points were around clarity, making the website more approachable from the get-go, separating it into sections.
I’ve been working on the site to take this feedback on board - I think it’s much clearer now, but would love to hear your feedback on these changes!
Some of you also made great points about getting a specific site to start working with. I’m looking into this now and will be adding another section about potential projects soon.
Really excited to get this in the ground!!!

And the original post from the above link:
I really want to make a proposal for our local parks - am I being unrealistic?
It drives me crazy that all of the street “parks” in my city are basically just grass and trees. It feels like such a massive waste of space and lawn mowing tax dollars.
So, I wrote a proposal for how we could use this public park land instead, as urban farming/ gardening/ community spaces.
I made it into a website to hopefully share around with my local community, get some traction, and eventually push it to our local council:
I’ve been writing it for so long that I worry I’m too much in my head about it.
Those of you that have done urban gardening projects like this, do you think this is unrealistic? Do I need to add more info, cut back, or elaborate on something else? Is there anything I’m missing?
Really appreciate any feedback/discussion !!
