4. That is wonderful CE. Community gardens are essential to
taking back the production of our food supply and away from agribusiness. I notice this garden is in Milledgeville, where my grandchildren go to school--they live the next county over from you. Wishing you all the best.

5. This is wonderful!!!!
Is there a model you followed? I'm very, very interested in how to implement community gardens and other cooperative ideas within the community.

Was it you who previously spoke of the "land trust" and how it can be used for such things as community garden?

If you have information to share, I'd be most grateful. :)

Until later, wishing you and everyone a most blessed day.

KUDOS, conscious evolution!!!

:applause:

Just do it.

I was not around when the idea of the cg here came up so I don't know what prompted it.I did send out to the others the Building Community guidelines we used at the land trust I have posted here before and everyone seems to like it.

edit to add; How to build a land trust

9. Congratulations!
BTW, I'm doing research on cooperatives. Is this community garden organized as a coop?
