The post you are reporting:
The land that this proposed garden is owned by, is Dover District Council and is used by the Museum quite often, especially on their open days.
I think that from an idea - a good idea for such a garden, it should have been thought through, land-ownership determined and discussions made BEFORE it was publicised.
When I made my initial posting about it, I hadn't determined who owned the land, but the TC should have and made a number of inquiries about ownership, possibilities of bringing it to fruition, design plan, on-going maintenance (not just leaving it to "jo-soap" to do) etc.
Maybe a corner of Pencester could/might be used for such a purpose ? but again, that's DDC land.
What pieces of land, in and around the Town are owned by DTC, so they can say yes, without land-ownership being a concern.
How many people would like some one else to come round and make a community project out of their garden and be expected to contribute to costs of design etc ?
I think people have been caught up with the enthusiasm of it, without thinking it through (enough) first.
