I have been asked to be a member of a committee to put together a training course on how to set up a community garden. The area that we are concentrating on is the City of Detroit and Wayne County, Michigan.
There are many low income people who would like to have a garden but either do not have the space, funds or both.The produce they could grow would mean alot to them
We will teach them how to secure property, soil testing, how to obtain seeds, plants and garden tools etc.
We are operating under a grant from the US Department of Agriculture. The committee consists of Michigan State University Extension Service, Master Gardeners (Me) and several other community groups that are focused on Urban Argilculture.
If any of you have experience in Community Gardening please contact me if you have any experiences, advice or other information to share.
Thanks.
Paul
