What is a Community Garden?
Simply, it is any piece of land gardened by a group of people. The goal is primarily to provide people with free fresh produce and secondarily to strengthen community by bringing people together to work on a project. This promotes health and reduces family budgets as well as providing recreation and stimulating social interaction. This is an opportunity for people in this neighborhood to take ownership of our community and what goes into our bodies. Check out the American Community Gardening Association for more information: www.communitygarden.org/
Where will this garden be located?
It will take up the side yard at 3701 Harrison Blvd, on the side facing 37th Street. There will be about 1500 square feet of garden.
What will be in the garden?
This will be mainly an herb and vegetable garden to feed people. There will be a few fruits and flowers as well. We want YOUR input about what to put here. If you have specific requests, please LET US KNOW! This is a garden by the community for the community.
How will it be run?
This will be communally managed and will be available for anyone. We will do most of the groundwork (literally) and planting on Saturday, May 21.
How can I get involved?
1. Talk to us! We want to know what you think and what you want.
2. Donate a few dollars for seed, fertilizer, water and supplies. If you want to donate materials, please do.
3. Work with us on May 21 and after that, help with keep-up throughout the year.
4. When the vegetables, fruits and herbs are available, come get some!
