86 Endnotes [1] Anyone interested in participating in a community garden can contact the master gardener that the group has appointed. Community gardening in New York City is free of charge, but a deposit for the key to the garden’s fence is frequently applied. [2] “(New York) State law defines community gardens as “public or private lands upon which citizens of the state have the opportunity to garden on land which they do not individually own. There are well over 1,000 registered or permitted community gardens in New York’s cities and many more cases where residents have rescued derelict private or public lots in an effort to build more livable neighborhoods.” (http://www.agmkt.state.ny.us/cg/cghome.html, [as accessed 5. January 2009] [3] In 2006 there are 138 community gardens in the South Bronx, with the greatest concentration in the central neighborhoods of Melrose, the Hub and Morrisania. (Analysis of Community Gardens Agreement and www.cenyc.org, 2006, see Mees, PhD thesis, prospectively 2010) [4] In 1977, ABC’s reporter Howard Cosell commented the red sky in the background of a World Series game in Yankee Stadium, ‚‘There it is, ladies and gentlemen, the Bronx is burning‘‘. ( New York , Dec 24; ABC, October 12, 1977) [5] So-called Victory or War Gardens, gardens were planted collectively by residents on public lawns, in parks, backyards and on rooftops in American metropolis during the First and the Second World Wars. They were initiated by the US government in order to “support the war effort on the home front” and alleviating nutrition shortages by encouraging the population to grow food locally. (Lawson, (2005)) [6] President Jimmy Carter visited the desolate Charlotte Street neighborhood in 1977 and Ronald Reagan stopped there on his presidential candidate in 1980. Both visits were televised all over the nation. [7] Later, in 1995, the program was moved to the <strong>Department</strong> of Parks and Recreation and the word “Operation” removed from the name, a reflection of the changing economy and new administration’s view that community gardens were non-essential recreation opportunities rather than important community revitalization projects. (Stone, 2000) [8] There are other programs providing materials and technical assistance like the non-profit organization Green Guerillas, founded in 1973, and More Gardens!, a non-profit organization formed in 1998. [9] Mayor Edward I. Koch’s so called „Ten Year Plan“ called for $4.1 billion, later upped to $5.1 billion, to be spent on affordable housing and reconstruction citywide. (Worth, 1999) [10] The number of population in the South Bronx was in 2000 up again to 523,000 residents. (Gonzales, 2004) [11] On the land use conflict between housing and community gardens in the South Bronx, see Mees, 2007. [12] The American Community Gardening Association was founded in 1979 following two national community gardening conferences organized by the City of Chicago <strong>Department</strong> of Human Services in 1978 and 1979. [13] The Trust for Public Land, a national, non-profit organization has worked since 1972 with landowners, community groups, and national, state, and local agencies on land conservation projects. The non-profit organization New York Restoration Project has been founded by the actress Bette Midler in 1995. [14] Mayor Michael Bloomberg proposed in 2002 his New Marketplace Housing Plan to create 65,000 housing units over the next five years built-up on the last “vacant” lots that the city-owned. (<strong>Department</strong> of Housing Preservation and Development, 2002) [15] GreenThumb is the nation‘s largest urban gardening program, assisting over 600 gardens and nearly 20,000 garden members throughout New York City. (http://www.greenthumbnyc.org/mission. html, as accessed on 7. January 2009) [16] The guidebook for a self-built “Gardenhaus” is available online on the webpage. (www.greenthumbnyc.org) [17] In Puerto Rico, for example, landless urban residents took over marginal public land on the urban periphery to create a garden with a wooden “casita”.
