Starting a Community Garden

Starting a Community Garden

This fact sheet was developed by the American Community Gardening Association. It is designed to give many different groups the basic information they need to get their gardening project off the ground.

Section headings on how to start a community garden include:

  • Form a Planning Committee
  • Choose a Site
  • Prepare and Develop the Site
  • Organize the Garden
  • Insurance
  • Setting up a New Garden Organization
  • How to Manage a Community Garden
  • Troubleshooting
  • Resources

Useful resource for residents and community groups interested in starting community garden. Although a good primer for the novice policymaker, it provides little guidance for publicly-owned community gardens.
