Thank you for all of you who participated in the Presidio Community Garden Survey! We got some awesome feed back from you.
Here are some of the great Advice/Tips from YOU!
"To take advantage of garden plot resources (people, fellow
gardeners, seedlings, etc.)"
"Use of clear plastic bottles with bottom cut off placed over
seedlings during early growth stages"
"Dig and water. The dirt below is dry"
"Nurture your soil. Check on your garden regularly. Tap your
educational resources (Jean)"
"Watch out for the slugs!"
*Gardens are a work of trial and error. Community gardens have the benefit of bringing people from many different backgrounds and walks of life together. Don't forget to meet your fellow gardeners and exchange your own tips and advice on how to make your garden flourish!*
Here are some of the reasons why you LOVE to GARDEN!
"Communing quietly with nature and interacting with and
learning from my fellow community gardeners."
"Being more connected to the neighborhood & nature &
the Park; taking care of plants & watching them grow; opportunity to
practice urban & organic gardening in the Nat'l Park and be part of the
gardening community here."
"Everything! Watching things grow, tasting the deliciousness
of fresh veggies & herbs, learning from Jean, and sharing tips &
excitement w neighbors!"
Lastly, for those who may have missed the survey, I am going to be putting together a voluntary program where we donate some of our yummy harvest to a local food pantry! If you are at all interested in giving back to your community, please leave your name or email in the comment section or feel free to email me at : mehr@presidiotrust.gov
