<p>There is this open lot in my town which is not being used and hasn't for many years. I really would like to do something with it, such as creating a community project to bring everyone together or building something there to help others. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?</p>
<p>Commuity Gardens are great, we have a ton in our city</p>
<p>Who owns the lot? That will determine what can be done on it. You can go to the city and get the information. It should just take a couple of phone calls</p>
<p>okay ill find out who owns it. what is a community garden like?..we don't have any in our town.</p>
<p>What about building a house there for habitat for humanity?
Another option is to build a playground.</p>
<p>Community Gardens...its where unused lots are used for growing plants, flowers, etc...the can be one big garden, or split up and community groups work and maintain them</p>
<p>Here is a link for the ones in our city</p>

<p>How do you go about getting land for a community garden? Would I go directly to city hall and ask them if there are any unused plots?</p>
