Shared Gardens: A Source of Joy and Sustainability
Shared gardens, where community members collectively grow and tend to plants, are not only beautiful spaces but also serve as a source of fresh produce, herbs, and flowers. These gardens promote sustainability, reduce food miles, and encourage organic farming practices.
Tips for Starting a Shared Garden:
- Find a suitable location with access to sunlight and water
- Organize a group of interested individuals and assign responsibilities
- Plan the layout and types of plants to be grown
- Establish guidelines for maintenance and harvesting
- Celebrate the harvest together and share the produce
