 o
starting a community garden.

Hi folks, I have an empty lot next to my house. I think that with a little T.L.C., it could be turned into a great garden for my neghborhood. I'd like for it to be organic. I'd really like some thoughts on how I can get this idea put into action. Can I just start planting. Do I have to go through the city. I've come to understand that It was once part of an alley that has since become non existant.

Thx.

RE: starting a community garden.

Hi Ruffarega,

I hope these links (not really links, but cut & paste-able) prove helpful. The first is to the American Community Gardening Association. Lots of information and good links. The second is also from the ACGA site, if you scroll down, it's got an alphabetical listing of links by state (including Ohio).

The third is to Philly's Neighborhood Gardens Association's "Getting Started" page. Good info. with good links. I imagine that most of the info. is transferable across the country.

Good luck!

Carrie
