Decatur Metro’s undercover, urban gardener reporter sends in photographic evidence of an urban garden in an abandoned subdivision development just outside the Decatur city limits on Oldfield Road.
Another pic and a map of the garden’s location after the jump.

Oh sweet. So not so “rogue” after all, huh? Still a good use of resources!
It’s not rogue and they have permission of the owner of the property to garden there. Get your facts straight.

Yea DM, get your jokes–er, facts straight.
You’re right on about its being a good use of resources– better an urban garden than an empty, weedy lot sitting there looking abandoned. On another note: Man! People are testy on this site today! WTD?
What the darn?

Southern Cuba?

somebody’s got a case of the Mondays….

I thought he meant “What’s the Deal”
It is a great idea. The neighborhood is being proactive with an eyesore. I hated it when they took down that old white house and razed all that land.
