"If the romance of nature in the city is to survive, democratic control must prevail; private parks corporations are a toxic influence, Loughran insists.
“These organizations really shouldn’t exist,” he says. “The public should have ownership of these spaces.”

Keep All Negativity Far From The Garden by JD
In a community, there always things you can improve whether it’s a big change or a small change. You can start small by picking up loose trash that you see when walking home (replacing recycles with disposables) or making sure that you're conserving a decent amount of water and electricity at a monthly rate . You can start big by ensuring your voice is heard by the community about community change! For example, coming together to build and grow an urban garden, which comes with various different benefits.
Growing a garden doesn’t take much but patience and ambition to succeed. On the other hand, growing an urban garden in your community needs commitment from the residents, lots of love towards each other, and the plants and animals in the garden need a clear goal to strive for. The overall purpose of an Urban Garden is to create a green space so that one’s community can come together to straighten bonds and create a more natural living arrangement for both the animals and humans, yielding a great improvement in the economic supply.
Building a successful urban garden comes with a lot of purchases such as watering cans, garden racks, soil, seeds of the communities chose and many more expensive expenses. On the other way there a ways to decrease the price such as creating donation pages to quickly gain money for the funds . There are places to shop in Boston like Home Depot and Gardening Center for items to support the passion of gardening.
Boston is a good place to start your gardening because there already so many different Urban Gardens located all over. These include “Green City Growers”, an Edible Landscape and Urban Farm located in Somerville, and “Nightingale Community Garden” located in the Dorchester area. These two places are extremely popular in the Boston area because of the positively and consistency of love from the community to grow green, keeping all negativity far from the garden. Nightingale is the location I can personally say has a huge impact on my neighborhood, allowing men and women to express their green dreams.
