We saw an interesting concept in British Columbia. You would rent a small plot of land, it would have access to water, for the year for a nominal fee. People were growing vegetables and beautiful flowers. I wish they would do something like that here.
Some years ago, a local land owner came to the Garden Club North and offered a piece of land for people to rent and cultivate, he was prepared to bring water to the site and to turn over the ground, but there were no takers. I cannot remember how much he wanted per "piece". In Europe this type of gardening is known as Allotment gardening, people rent an area and plant their garden for the year.
