Hi folks, I am also wondering how you would like citywide programs to link in to this database of gardens? Do we need to list each garden individually or can we simply register as a program?
Thanks for your time, Sandy Pernitz Community Garden Coordinator P-Patch Community Gardening Program/Sustaining Grounds for Community Growing "Life as a whole expresses itself as a force that is not to be contained within any one part."

As former ACGA executive director I was continually frustrated that I needed to come up with questimates about community garden numbers and demographics. So, now we just need to get all the gardens out there to go to www.communitygarden.org and add information about their garden(s) to the database. Down the road, ACGA hopes to recruit some interns to help with the data collection -- meanwhile let me know if you'd like to join a cadre of information gatherers.
