Dear Editor,
Re: “Richmond food group defends community garden’s appearance”, Richmond-News.com, July 9.
During my many years on city council, I have always supported and advocated for community gardens across Richmond.
At a recent meeting, I used an unfortunate choice of words regarding the appearance of the Moncton Community Gardens.
My comment was due to frustration in the discussion about the need for improvements to the city’s Community Gardens Program.
I regret my choice of words and openly and sincerely apologized for my comment at a recent committee meeting.
Richmond is fortunate to have numerous community gardens that are not only strongly supported and well maintained, but have a long wait list of interested users.
We need more community gardens throughout our city and I will continue to do what I can to make that happen.
Coun. Bill McNulty
RICHMOND
