Many gardens ban power tools so leave the weed whacker at home. Dont plant tall plants like corn or sunflowers where they will cast shade on a neighboring plot. Some gardens have height limits on what can be grown. Be cautious with creeping vines, like those crazy winter squash, which could creep out of your space.

The problems: Theft vandalism Sadly, vandalism in the form of property destruction or defacement also occurs. While non-members are the most obvious culprits, intra-garden shenanigans are known to occur, too!

Consider including storage sheds, compost bins, picnic tables and gathering space, a rainproof bulletin board, a childrens plot, ornamental perimeter plantings (for curb appeal), and an irrigation system (see the appendix for a sample garden design). Wide pathways make for good neighbors.

Contact Your Local Community News Outlets Volunteers, benefactors, and businesses that can provide supplies (soil, tools, construction materials, etc.) keep abreast of community ongoings via local media and are more likely to get involved when a project is reported on by an authoritative source.

Site sponsorship can be a tremendous asset. Contributions of land, tools, seeds, fencing, soil improvements or money are all vital to a successful community garden. Some community gardens can provide most of their provisions through fees charged to the membership; but for many, a garden sponsor is essential.

A community garden is a site operated and maintained by committed volunteers where a publicly owned parcel of land is used for growing ornamentals and/or produce for non-commercial use through individual and common (community garden) or entirely shared plots (collective garden).

Most community gardens cost between $3,750 and $7,500 to start, but if they are particularly large, they could cost much more than this. You will also need liability insurance, which adds several hundred or several thousands of dollars of cost, and you will need to rent your lot.

This can include fruits, vegetables, or flowers; however, most communities focus on community gardens that grow food. These gardens are managed by members of the local community, and generally, the members will partake of the crops they help cultivate.
