Shared Gardens
Posted on April 13th, 2009 by tom.
The LA Times reports that the City of Santa Monica is pairing would-be gardeners lacking land with land owners lacking time:
Santa Monica officials say there are simply too many would-be gardeners and too little public garden space.
So gardeners and officials have come up with an idea they call the frontyard and backyard registry. The idea would connect gardeners with homeowners who are interested in hosting gardens but don’t have the time to care for them.
They are now developing the registry and looking for homeowners willing to allow a stranger with garden tools and seeds to tend a section of their yard.

That would make a great web-app. I think similar things exist for lending out tools. I wonder what else this model could be used for?
