Joining a community garden could be an excellent resource for the Vansteader. Possible benefits include:
- A place to park during the day... a few steps from your own garden plot
- Growing your own food
- Selling your own produce at a local market
- Making friends
- Creating a tie to the community
- Possible potable water (maybe other amenities)
- Shared tools are common
Here you can locate a community garden near you. This database is not all inclusive; you may need to do an internet search to locate other community gardens in your area:
The community gardens I've looked at are approximately $25 for the entire growing year.
I had no idea. There are 4 in our Indianapolis area. I'm not sure, with my taking care of my brother, if we would have time for this, but what a great idea. Thanks for sharing and I will be checking in on you for progress in this...
