This is so exciting I had to post it on this blog as well.  For my readers who don’t know. I’ve got another blog which is dedicated to all thing green, real estate and Cincinnati related.  Check it out at www.encorecincinnati.com

For all my Norwood readers, would you be interested in something like this in our city?

Below is the post as well:

I blogged about it months ago.  A few of you even commented that if I bought the land you’d till the soil.  Well it turns out that City Council last week finally passed a plan for mini-farms.  What is a mini farm or an urban farm?  Well, its exactly what it sounds like: a small farm in an urban setting.  Why you ask?  Well, there is always a question of what to do with some of the vacant unusable city plots of land.  Most of them are unbuildable plots and just sit vacant and uncared for. Many major cities have started using these plats as small gardens and farms for city dwellers.  The exact details will be worked out in the next month.  City officials must decide how to lease the plots, and whether to charge anything. Lets hope they don’t.  Bring back the victory gardens of WWI & WWII.

How soon can we expect these little gardens of nutrition to start springing up?  Well, council expect 10 to 15 plots to be ready for growing this spring as a pilot project.  Yippee! Local food is where its at.  Lets help beautify the city.

I wonder if Norwood would be interested in something like this??
