4) Please feel free to contact me at my e-mail address for a tour of the Clinton Community Garden in NYC. We've been at this since 1978 - maybe we've done something that can keep you from reinventing the wheel. Our website is:

5) You should check out the American Community Garden website that has a wealth of information for gardens that are starting out:
