Dear City Council Members and City Clerk:

I am a Culver City gardener, a long-term Culver City resident and business owner. On behalf of my fellow gardeners and potential members we implore you to maintain and work with us to find a new location if necessary.

Community gardens are vital part of urban life. Our garden members are renters, condominium owners, seniors, families and people with disabilities.

The benefits community gardens provide are abundant.

We urge you to provide more time community input and staff research for this urgent matter.

Barbara Effros

Culver City
