More than a community garden, this sharing garden provides fresh produce for all who've contributed to it, with surplus going to the local food bank.
Coordinators Chris Burns and Llyn Peabody note that with one large plot rather than separate plots, Alpine Sharing Garden enables more efficient food production - from watering to optimizing for pollinators. They share tips for getting started, garden planning, communicating with volunteers, garden practices like deep mulch, and especially the joy of giving without expecting a return.
Thanks for supporting Peak Moment TV..
Really liked the Alpine Sharing Garden video. Hope it inspires!
ReplyDeleteI would hope so too, but it rather looks as though the garden may be taking an entirely different, less community oriented, more ladies gardening club direction
ReplyDeleteHmm, not sure what Vanessa means by us becoming more like a "ladies gardening club". The Sharing Gardens continues to grow strong in exactly the model spoken of on the video. Llyn and Chris - Sharing Gardens

Llyn & Chris ~ sorry for any misunderstanding. My comment was in reference to our local community garden. Your model was what we had in mind when we started the garden.
