Season-by-Season Guide for Planting and Maintaining Your Community Garden
Page 1 of 5
Generally speaking, a few hours a week should be sufficient to plant, maintain, and harvest your community garden. Here's your guide to a happy and healthy garden in the winter, spring, summer, and fall.
During winter, hold meetings—one or two a month—to plan your garden and assign work:
- Decide what to plant: annuals, perennials, trees and shrubs, shade or sun-loving varieties?
- Determine the quantity of plants needed for beds, gardens, parkways, etc.; and
- Create a monthly calendar for specific jobs and assignments, as well as events to be held in the garden, such as workdays, picnics, and performances.
