LOS ANGELES COUNTY PUBLIC COMMUNITY GARDENS
Self-maintained and policed, community gardens are open to all who apply and occupy three categories of land: private land with short-term leases, public land with short-term leases, and garden-owned land. Maintaining a vacant lot is expensive, so leasing the land for a community garden until it is needed for development is both practical and pleasant.
