Since 2003, the new park has been like a major life-force for the center of the city, helping reduce temperatures and bridging the gap between the north and south of the metropolis. The 5.6 km park is encouraging new activity and recreation and is even home to an array of new insects, fish and other wildlife.

A mission of hope in an urban garden in Atlanta Linked by Michael Levenston The Atlanta Union Mission has transformed a vacant downtown lot into a garden filled with raised vegetable beds that are tended daily by the very men who inhabit the shelter and whose bounty will benefit the shelter’s kitchen. Photo from Atlanta Union Mission. “Our own little Garden of Eden.” By Adeline Chen CNN – Eatocracy May 16, 2011 Excerpt: “We eat what we get. It’s not like I can say ‘I’m going to eat something healthy,’” says Joel, a resident of a downtown Atlanta shelter. For Joel, and other homeless people like him, having a meal does not mean choosing between an organic pear and gorgonzola salad or locally-grown arugula with artisanal cheese. Instead, food options boil down to one thing: sustenance. The food is received mostly by donation, which means it’s often cheap, non-perishable, and generally less than healthy. However, one Atlanta nonprofit, the Atlanta Mission, has recentl...

This July we are launching our second competition - SLANT GARDEN DESIGN AWARD 2011 and this time the competition will be open to all, and the project will be to design a garden for a private residence. Once again the key feature of this competition is that the project in question is a “virtual project”, one that has been created specifically for this competition. You are being presented with a fixed house plan located on a clearly defined plot, but apart from that you will be free to decide everything else. For example you can choose the global location of this virtual garden and after that you can choose what its setting will be. Some may prefer an urban setting, while others may choose a rural location. Your garden could be in a city centre, in a leafy suburb, on a mountain, by the sea, in the desert etc, you get to choose. Your project may have views to the surrounding land/cityscape which you may wish to exploit, of perhaps you want to turn t...
