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).
