My parents would totally donate the parkway on the side of their house to anyone who wanted to make it look presentable. I think they'd even let him or her keep all the produce.

It's an interesting idea, but not financially worth it (like a lot of people have said here). It would probably be different if it was something like this guy: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB120903237167241285.html His neighbors donate their yards, he makes them into gardens, and then his neighbors get free produce. Anything extra he sells. I love gardening too, so I'd probably be more willing to be on the gardening and selling side, rather than the buying side. :) Hey Fern!

I'm so glad you de-lurked! It looks like your blog is off to an interesting start. <b>Marye</b> -- Heh. I ignore my cleaning duties so that I can garden. Maybe I should hire myself a cleaning lady. I wonder which is cheaper, the cleaning lady for the farmer for hire? Caitlin — I think I pretty much agree with your take.

But for a rich person that doesn't have time to spend in the garden, this might be a great solution. And, hey - it provides employment, too. That's pretty neat. PS - I think your blog is awesome! I read it all the time to get ideas for my own tiny little balcony garden. :) I personally would never, ever pay that kind of money for something that I could do myself (and enjoy doing, to boot).
