Recently, there has been growing interest among some Woodcroft neighbors in forming a community garden
as a way to bring neighbors together while increasing access to fresh, local produce and flowers.
A community garden is a piece(s) of land designed for gardening use by community members.
In this case, a larger plot(s) of land would be divided into smaller plots so that interested individuals
or households could sign up to receive a plot of land to grow their own organic fruits, vegetables,
and/or flowers. This is different than community supported agriculture (CSA) where land is collectively
farmed and individuals receive a share of the produce.
We are still in the early stages of conceptualizing and planning a garden, so we are interested
in understanding your response to this idea.
These ideas will help to develop a plan or idea for a community garden that
will need to be reviewed and approved by the Woodcroft Community Association Board.
Please respond to the questions below so that if such a garden is developed, it
meets the needs and interests of Woodcroft residents.
- Do you support the idea of a Woodcroft Community Garden for Woodcroft residents?
- Would you participate in the community garden? (Individual plots would be available
for Woodcroft households)
- What features would you like to see included in a community garden? (Select all
that apply)
-
How close to where you live would you like the community garden to be?
- Would you like the garden to be within sight of your house?
- Would you like the garden to be within walking distance of your house (up to a 15 minute walk)?
- Are you willing to drive to the community garden if it is located in Woodcroft too far for you to walk?
- If this plan goes forward, would you be interested in volunteering or supporting
the effort in some way?
