This topic idea is taken from Aug 8 Sneak Some Zucchini, a reply by lammchen. Have any of you participated in a Community Garden? Do you have one you volunteer at? If so, what is it for? What do you plant? How big is it? Feel free to share as many details & even pictures if you want. We live rural but nobody has a Community Garden around here. You mostly see them in cities or at least suburbs. If you don't volunteer, have you considered encouraging other members of your community to start one?

We have nothing of the sort locally. Well, the local hospital does have a community garden of sorts for patients that are undergoing cancer pain management, so that is nice. But nothing for the generally public, people have too many yards around here to just grow a small garden on their own.

Community gardens are an excellent idea...and, with like-minded people and the right area, it'd be great!

Well I participated in few invitations of such type comunity gardens or plant saplings. I did twice by planting a neem tree and blackberry. Here we need to plant what the community leaders offered for planting and no one will listegns us also the fruit plants always struggle to grow or give fruits because of kids.

My church has a community garden that helps the neighborhood as well as the local food bank and I see a sign in my town at a church that also has a community garden. Their sign welcomes everyone to come pick for free out of the garden. I never see anyone there though.

If your church comes across that as well, maybe enlist some volunteers to spend a couple hours a day taking turns being in the garden. Then people will see others there & may be more apt to stop on by.
