New Community Garden in Ozone Park

[AAPremlall]

We just received approval from the landowner (an attorney) to transformation his vacant corner plot into a community garden!

Right now he is asking for insurance or any guarantee that he isn't responsible for anything that happens there or if anyone wants to sue...

One of the community garden members home abuts this property, could that be extended through her coverage or is there a special insurance for these purposes?

Thanks,

Anandi
