Hi Guys
Let's get together a catalogue of Urban Farm or Garden precedents, here are a couple of starters to get you thinking:

and http://www.publicfarm1.org/

Each of these is dealing with the ideas of the urban and the natural in an innovative way. Feel free to add to this list and to critique what you find - so we can have a discussion about them,
Not really the way I'm going but here's a few links I've collected the past little while.

Ps - Might be useful if we all get in the practice of signing off on our postings - if everyone posts under Jo's account we'll never know who is who. Not sure who the original poster here is?
