Minneapolis Garden Club shows vacant lot plan pays off
The Garden club of Minneapolis reports a successful vacant lot gardening campaign in 1911 with 25 lots grown to vegetables and 250 000 square feet to flowers. It improved 19 00 acres, cleared 600 acres of rubbish, and supplied grocers and hotels with fresh produce, boosting city prestige and prompting other cities to imitate the effort. California seeks a $250 000 annual grant for Yosemite park upkeep and warns of possible state cession if denied.
