After looking around a bit on a website (American Community Garden Association) that is focused on helping people get community gardens up and going - I decided to talk to some of my neighbors about what they thought of the idea.
... How would I explain this to them? "Uhm, I woke up one morning with this crazy idea of starting a community garden... what do you think?"
Went and knocked on the Peterson's door (they have been in this neighborhood forever, and I always see them out in their garden, and walking around the neighborhood -- they seem to love gardens, and are very much community oriented - perfect). Not home. Hmmm - I'll try back another day.
Went back home and started looking deeper into the idea of what it takes to make a garden.
The ACGA (website above) has a spot where you can find local member-gardens -- and they have one in Fort Worth -- Fairmont Community Gardens -- looks like a big operation - looks pretty well run too! Worth checking out. Sent out emails to ask a few people running other local gardens for advice/counsel/helpful hints.
Thinking about planning a visit to one or two of the gardens in the future.
