The Community Garden subcommittee will make field trips to area allotment, donation and habitat community gardens over the next two weeks to develop ideas and gather insights. The core group will begin reaching out to relevant resources in our local community, and developing strategies for assessing community interest and recruiting volunteers to help with the planning process. We have connected with Urban Harvest to assist us and are networking with the community leadership of the Inwood Forest Golf Course allotment community garden project which is at a similar stage of planning.
We hope to have a public subcommittee meeting before June 1st and will be selecting a time and site for that shortly.
We welcome anyone who is interested. You do not have to be a gardener. We need people who want to recruit volunteers or be learners/volunteers, help research funding options, and people with design/build knowledge.
Contact Cindy Bandemer for more information.
I think this is an excellent idea. A lot of space to grow fruit trees and trees that change color during the fall. We could have our own Lost Maples National Park here in CLC.

This is a great idea!! Being that this park will be built by the Water Athority, I would hope that the use of native, drought-resistant plants will be used throughout the entire premise. :)
