Hi, all. I am located in Durham, North Carolina. Our church has a vacant lot next to our education building, and I am writing a grant to develop some of that space into a community garden. The grant is due next Saturday, October 15, and we're planning to hand carry it for submission on Friday, the 14th. We are proposing "mixed use" space. Some of the space would be maintained in common by the church to provide produce for persons in our church who are no longer able to get out on their own, for persons who are on fixed incomes and are no longer able to garden, for persons with acute, (relatively) short-term needs for food, or for local shelters, food banks, and food pantries. We also plan to make raised beds available to people in the neighborhood who would like to raise food for their own use. I have seen some examples on the AGCA website of information to include on applications and sample guidelines and rules. In addition, I would appreciate receiving any examples of applications or other guidelines/rules that other community gardening organizations are using, so I can avoid "reinventing the wheel unnecessarily." Thanks. Larry Kroutil Calvary United Methodist Church Durham, NC
