How to Start a Community Garden
Saturday, May 16, 10am-4pm
Windsor Park Library, 5833 Westminster Dr
A community garden is a place for growing food, friends, flowers and community. Find out how to contribute to the economic, social, and environmental vitality of your neighborhood by starting a community garden. In this workshop, we will cover how to secure land, finding funding & resources, and organizing friends & neighbors to create a community space. We will also take a tour of an established community garden.
There is a high interest in community gardening in Austin, and very limited spaces available at the current community gardens. Come learn about how we can work together to start more gardens! Cost $5 per participant to cover lunch (or you may choose to bring your own).
