Inman Park community garden is a no-go ... at least at proposed site

Garden committee tells CL it plans to pull application for vegetable spot that caused such an uproar

Inman Park residents who launched an effort to build a controversial (!) community garden in Freedom Park have decided to rethink their plans.

Garden Committee chair Carolyn McLaughlin tells CL the group has decided to withdraw the project’s application, which today was set to be heard for the seventh time by the city’s Urban Design Commission.

She writes: “If we made the UDC vote on our application and they voted it down, it could mean that community gardens would not be allowed anywhere in Freedom Park. We decided that we could not do that to another neighborhood.”
