Antonio,
Look into the following books:

A Patch of Eden: America's Inner-City Gardeners <http://astore.amazon.com/pctradingpost-20/detail/0930031806/105-5321760-7571619>

City Bountiful: A Century of Community Gardening <http://astore.amazon.com/pctradingpost-20/detail/0520243439/105-5321760-7571619>

City Green <http://astore.amazon.com/pctradingpost-20/detail/068812786X/105-5321760-7571619>

Digging Deeper: Integrating Youth Gardens Into Schools & Communities <http://astore.amazon.com/pctradingpost-20/detail/188443004X/105-5321760-7571619>

Community Gardening (Brooklyn Botanic Garden All-Region Guide) <http://astore.amazon.com/pctradingpost-20/detail/1889538388/105-5321760-7571619>

Sharing the Harvest: A Citizens Guide to Community Supported Agriculture, Revised and Expanded <http://astore.amazon.com/pctradingpost-20/detail/193339210X/105-5321760-7571619>

Patch of Eden, for example looks at gardens all over the country. I imagine you could GoogleEarth them.

I'd also contact BUG (Boston Urban Gardeners), SLUG (San Francisco League of Urban Gardeners) <http://www.grass-roots.org/usa/slug.shtml>, EBUG (East Bay Urban Gardeners), Bay Area Coalition for Urban Agriculture (BACUA) <http://www.cityfarmer.org/CenterSustUA.html>* *.

Hi
I'm looking for information on the physical site design part of the design of
community gardens
Specific issues that need be taken into account from your experience, other then the application of pc design principles of course like: aspect, climate, access etc.
Has anyone found any patterning of the space that works best?
It'd be great to see pictures or photos of already designed and working C'ty
gardens: may be googleearth pictures?
All the best
Antonio
