CG Size

Shane,
15 acres is huge for a CG.  Congratulations.  Your garden may be largest in the U.S.  The number of plots available for gardening is probably more important.  Our botanical garden is 42 acres but only 50 % is developed.  
 
Our garden, which is not a typical CG, has .4 acre of plantable area. The CG occupies about 1.5 acres.  Although small, we hope to harvest between 14K to 16K lbs of vegetables this year (see... http://www.casagarden.com/harvest.htm )
 
If I'm still directing this garden next year, I'd like to break 20K for total harvest (no, we don't harvest watermelons).
 
Keep up the good works,  
 
Jim Call, Volunteer CASA Community Garden Director

Folks

 

I was recently told that our new community garden project in Sandy Utah (10 miles outside of Salt Lake City proper) when complete, may be the largest community garden in the country at 15 acres. I was just wondering what other large community garden projects are out there and if anybody knows if this is would be true.

 

 

Thanks

 

Shane
