# 🧑🌾 Gardens Swarm Funding Proposal
## Proposal Information
**Proposal description**
This proposal is to fund the Gardens Swarm DAO: https://aragon.1hive.org/?#/gardensswarm
**Proposal Rationale**
Gardens are a generalisation of the infrastructure the 1Hive protocol uses. This will enable other communities to experiment with a similar setup, allowing them to raise funds and make decisions amongst themselves effectively.
Gardens is on our roadmap since the beginins of 1hive. Now with disputable Conviction Voting and Celeste we have everything ready to implement it.
