I would like to see native Southern California plants and trees growing in Pasadena's public spaces and open spaces.

I am a resident/tax payer of Pasadena and would like to request consideration of public open spaces for community garden(s).

What are the steps to make this a reality?

Prior Comments 04-10-2009 With the rampant development of the past few years, the open space within our borders becomes more critical to preserve whats left of the special character of Pasadena. Of great concern to our neighborhood at this point is the cram down from the telcom folks we see coming in the form of the Wireless and Cable Ordinance. We would like to see greater top down coordination to protect our open spaces and city wide viewshed.

On the west side of Pasadena where we live near the Hillsides site, the views are unmatched, and we would hope that this historic 17 acre parcel can be preserved.

Prior Comments 04-10-2009 I believe that community gardens should be a lucrative land use in which Pasadena can incorporate in their General Open Space Element.
Community Gardens are not typically known as a land use in which promotes capital; however, it does promote social capital. The P-Patch program in the City of Seattle is a great model.

Prior Comments 04-10-2009 I believe that open space should include gardens that provide a sustainable food supply for our community. The program should be modeled after the Chicago group called "Greening Network". see website: http://www.greennetchicago.org/community_gardens.html

This will be an asset to our city in many ways: 1. provide a local source for organic food 2. contribute to a cleaner environment by reducing emissions caused by trucking produce into the city 3. provide jobs for our youth and to help them feel valuable as important players in Pasadena's food supply.4. Impower youth by allowing them to nurture a living thing 5. opportuntiy to provide the entire community on the benefits of real organic food 6. provide a training ground for community residents to learn how to construct and maintain their own organic gardens.
