Take control of your food supply and experience the wonderful feeling of community offered by this shared experience of gardening. Look for a CSA in your area. If you live in an urban or suburban community, you can help transform a rundown neighborhood with the gift of a community planting or by pitching in on Green Up Day. Help support community garden space for people who may not be able to garden at home. Or consider becoming a community gardener yourself.
Gardens can restore communities, bring neighbors together, and help everyone find common ground.
Almost every city, county and neighborhood has a garden club, an annual community planting project or some shared gardens that can benefit from your enthusiasm and your knowledge. And you will benefit as you learn from others. Imagine the variety of experience and wisdom accumulated by thousands of gardeners across the country and right in your neighborhood. Share the success behind your green lawn with a neighbor when you're both out mowing on a Saturday morning. Volunteer to help in a seedstarting project in schools or at a community center.
