Hello, I understand that there is no longer any community garden spaces available as Iinquired back in March. And the past few seasons being unsuccessful. I know that gardenspace was diminished this year as more apartments are being built on previous garden spaces.I am interested to understand what the City of Bozeman's plan is to increase important gardenspace in the City? The city has a big chance to put their money where their mouth is when itcomes to climate change and development through agriculture. The people of Bozeman needthe city to prioritize garden space and regenerative agriculture practices moving forward. Wejust keep digging up soil or building row houses throughout this valley and destroying the soilthat stores carbon. Not to mention the increase of food insecurities not being addressed. Weneed more large scale agriculture and garden space within the city limits, please. The soil inthis valley is a precious commodity we will not have a second chance. Thank you for yourtime and listening to my bantering! Jason
