A photo of the #CommunityGarden back in its heyday... Soon to return to its former glory!
Alrighty then. I found some nearby #CommunityGardens, and also some good materials from #UMaineCooperativeExtension , including guidelines!
I'm also going to suggest that the town money be used for these expenses...
- Electric Fence? (If needed)
- Soil Testing?
- Materials to build compost bins?
- Water tank?
- Water source for refilling tank (compensation)?
- Markers to mark out plots?
Guidelines for Community Gardens:

Bulletin #4300, Steps to Organizing Your Community Garden - Cooperative Extension Publications - University of Maine Cooperative Extension
A community garden is typically a piece of public land tended collectively by a group of people who are interested in growing fresh fruits and vegetables, creating community, and establishing a connection to the environment. This fact sheet in the Food for ME series includes suggestions on how to set up a community garden project, recruit volunteers, and establish a garden plot.
#Online - #CommunityGardens and #FoodSecurity in Maine
April 14 @ 6:00 pm - 7:15 pm
Cost: $0 - $15
"This webinar is hosted by the University of Maine Cooperative Extension.
Across Maine, community gardens are increasing food security by bringing people together to grow food for their communities. This panel will explore how collective garden spaces allow neighbors to work side by side to grow fresh, local food that is donated to food security organizations. Panelists will share real examples from across Maine and offer practical insights into how community gardens get started, build partnerships, and grow into lasting resources that strengthen local communities.
Speakers: Rachel Stamieszkin, Master Gardener Volunteer in Cumberland County, Johnny Sanchez, Collective Gardens Program Coordinator and Volunteer Coordinator at #FoodAndMedicine (FAM), and Julia St. Clair, Agricultural Programs Manager at #BrunswickTopshamLandTrust."

If nothing else, I'll plant some sunflowers and maybe some corn -- things that I don't quite have room for in my small vegetable plot (and then I'll focus on growing more smaller veggies -- like beets, tomatoes, potatoes, etc.)!
