but the problems keep on bigging and biggering so we're like, what if we didn't just plant one garden a day? what if we planted 350 gardens in a day and we use ts as a ance to call attention to the climate crisis and community solutions to these really complicated interconnected issues. and honestly, we were afraid to even mention the goalas so big when we started t. and our city and agency partners were like, they were supportive of us but i think were pretty doubtful that we could achieve it. but the community rose to thchallenge and dozens of agencies and organizations and businesses came together and together in a single day, we plantednd revitalize628 gardens. and this was aonishing on aumber of fronts. first because it got the water department thinking about food and community engagement and it got the health department thinking about climate and water and the local economy. and all of us were thinking about the power of small when taken to scale. and so just for context, about this time, we were about a decade into daily acts and we were still mostly volunteer powered with twoo

within permitted uses that includes the gardens. there was some discussion about how to interpret that. as supervisor peskin noted earlier this is probably in a very complex document this section was probably one of the most negotiated sections. we had a definition that could be read different ways. ultimately it was january 2021 where we all were on the same page and noted that it should only be used in soma open spaces. i would say i know that my understanding and i can speak more to this. the funds were transferred to the city at the time that the garden transfer occurred. i don't know that the funds were sitting at the city all of the time. i am not sure. that is when the funds transferred to the city. >> relative to the permitted uses it is my understanding that those are relatively broad in so far as they can be used for programmatic uses, they could be used for capital uses but they don't have to be used for capital uses. can you speak to that, please. >> sure. i was pointing that out earlier. they are broad. the language say

i was in my garden this morning trying to bring in some of the garden furniture into the shed that is not heavy, things like bins outside. one of the things the fire brigade are doing this morning is dealing with building works, scaffolding coming loose, sheets flying off, roof tiles flying around and that is why staying indoors means you're less likely to be hit. but you can do stuff to avoid things that you are responsible for flying around as well, so if you have bins with lids that can fly away you might want to bring them where they don't fly away. if there is garden furniture that is light and may fly awway bring it indoors and put it in the shed, do what you can to avoid being a factor for other people's danger but the best thing you can do is stay indoors and don't try and be a hero to try and bring in something and facing the consequences of roof tiles, scaffolding flying around. enormous travel disruption. and it spied on the roads and at airports, but it is a really bad for a lot of people who otherwise might want to use the trains in many parts of the country. the main rai
