[Community_garden] Gardens owned & operated by private companies?

[Betsy Johnson]

The South Street Community Garden in Boston is owned by the Massachusetts
State Laboratories (not quite a private company, but still a business-like
operation.)  Half the plots are allocated to employees and half the plots to
neighbors. http://ksgaccman.harvard.edu/hotc/DisplayImage.asp?id=472

> Hello all,
> 
> I'm looking for info on any gardens that are owned and operated by private
> companies, for their employees' use.  We're about to submit a proposal to my
> employer that they develop a garden as a sort of "employee perk".  It would
> also include gardening for charity, either by percentage of harvest or by
> maintaining some communal charity plots.  Otherwise I think it's kind of
> different from the other gardens I've read about in that it would only be
> accessible to a closed group of folks (employees-only).
> 
> Any real-life examples would be greatly appreciated!  I think we have a better
> chance of our proposal being accepted if we can point to other companies that
> have already done it.
> 
> Thanks in advance, and best of luck on all your gardens!
