I'm thinking about sending my writing to the local journal

No one is going to bother with some noname's texts, no matter the quality. Unless you're writing some genre crap, in which case Amazon self-publishing (((might))) work, your only option is to get accepted by a publisher.

This.

Nobody knows nor cares who you are, OP. Get off your high horse and go from there.

Not my fiction but a review of the private gardens of the city. The idea is to promote the culture of my city. I believe I never saw anything like this published specifically in this journal. Hell, who the fuck gives about gardens in these days? Should I approach a rich person and sell the idea first then ask him to help pushing the idea?

Also if someone has any ideas about how i can help to promote the culture of my city, I'm listening. Sometimes I feel guilty because I take too much and give nothing in return.

That's probably why no paper is going to print it.

I think easiest and most common way to promote anything is via social media.
Your local museum/theatre/library has a social media account? Share it. Or make your own blog and spam everyone on your friends list.

Find an appropriate market for your work and submit to editors. Duotrope if you don't know where to start. Read lit magazines. Submit to the ones you like.

You don't need to tell editors they can use your work for free. They all have a payment policy. In some cases, that policy is to pay nothing.
