Hello,
We started a community garden two years ago in Norfolk, VA. We received a small grant and were able to develop about 30 family plots, which we offer to interested families for "free", in exchange for working 2-3 volunteer hours per week. However, we have not had much luck generating interest in the community, and after two years only have six families! We have knocked on doors, gone to local civic league meetings, written articles in the local online paper, and put up flyers at the farmer's market. My question is, what have you done to promote your community garden? Thank you, Suzy Stelmaszek LEED AP TYMOFF+ MOSS ARCHITECTS 512 Botetourt Street Norfolk, VA 23510 757.627.0013 x 16 757.319.7105 mobile www.tmarchitects.com <http://www.tmarchitects.com> The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain proprietary, business-confidential and/or privileged material.
