Not everyone has a backyard. Community gardens are just that, they bring communities together. They also provide healthy food to families who need it. They keep people in our city healthy mentally and physically. They are critical to the well being of our city . We need more community gardens not less.

Who thinks up these nonsensical ideas? Seriously! Downtown apparently is monumentally out of touch with the Eastside. They certainly misjudged the need/desire to preserve the meaningful
murals at Ortega Park. Out of touch!

Please, keep the Yanonali Community Garden as is or increase it in size. This is a community asset. It is very important to to have these growing gardens opportunity in an urban setting. Community gardens are a community building activity and extremely valuable!

Saving and expanding our community gardens helps the environment, helps many in our community, and continues the long, successful history of this community-based activity. Please do not approve the plan to reduce garden space. Thank you!!

I'm a gardener at Pilgrim Terrace and support keeping the 10x20 plots and no need for picnic tables. If you must get more income, leave plots as is and charge more! NO TINY PLOTS!!

The garden is an amazing place. The soil alone is valuable for carbon sequestration and so much more. Tearing up all the plots is a terrible idea.

El jardín comunitario nos a dado la oportunidad de cosechar una variedad de verduras frescas. Sería una pena perder o disminuir el tamaño de los planteros.

Santa Barbara Permaculture Network, a nonprofit in Santa Barbara, supports community gardens and we want to see more community gardens not less. In this city plan, we see that community gardens are becoming more and more important in the future of food security. Please save Yanonali Garden and all of the spaces thank you!

As a former Rancheria plot holder, I know just how much time, energy, money, and love goes into maintaining a garden plot. I’m disappointed at the proposal to shrink the Yanonali garden, and passionately encourage the city to reconsider the impact that has on the community which accesses that space.
