Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: shared garden space

[Karen Scheer (karen]

I echo this request.  I would love to hear from other communities about 
what has worked and not worked in other communities' shared gardens. 

Currently here in Ashland OR, we are creating a garden (second year) 
with the intention to share the work and the harvests.  We are focusing 
on getting a core group of 3-4 committed gardeners working together with 
others (who have less time) on teams.  We are "adopting beds" to these 
teams who will be responsible for caring for these beds. 

We plan to create a kids' bed which will they can help build, care for & 
harvest easily.  We have a small shed with tools & a white board for 
communicating what is planted where & what needs to be done.  We also 
have a book for recording what was done when & how much was harvested by 
who.
