RE: Manual for Beginning Gardeners

H* A*

Tony,

First go to the website of the ACGA http://www.communitygarden.org
and read everything that you can, click on links, print everything that you
can.

This URL has alot of what you need:

http://www.communitygarden.org/pubs/starting.html

This link has alot of the information that you need to help organize a self
governing community garden. The balance ( how to garden, how to compost,
etc. can be picked up from your local library or bookstore.)

There was a marvelous guide to community gardening book written in the early
eighties printed by the Boston Urban Gardeners which I'm not sure is still
in print. I could be wrong on this, but I believe that Garden Futures ( who
I've cc'd this email) is the sucessor organization to BUG.

Remember... your task as a community garden organizer will be made so much
easier by becoming a member of the American Community Gardening Association
( 25 bucks a year) with all the nifty technical information and the
unmistakable karmic benefits that fully paid up membership brings.

Best wishes,
Adam Honigman

Best wishes

Hi,

We are in the process of developing an instructional regional manual for
beginning community gardeners.  Has anyone developed such a manual that you
could send me a copy of?  Thanks for any assistance you can provide!
