Hi Bethann, I'm not the organizer nor the facilitator, but I have been a volunteer with the Green Corn Project in Austin. (www.greencornproject.org) It may not be exactly what you were looking for, but you can probably get some good ideas from them. If you have questions, just shoot them an email. I know they'd be happy to assist. Good luck with your project! Lori Ferris Round Rock, TX www.rrcommunitygardens.ning.com

In my community, we have determined we do not currently have interest/need for a centralized rent-a-plot community garden. This is largely because we are a rural community with plenty of space for gardening. However, we have a need for interested inexperienced individuals to receive personal mentoring in gardening, in order to ensure first season success, and increase the possibility of developing life-long gardeners. Our group has therefore resolved to establish a matching program to pair experienced willing gardeners with those interested in learning to garden. I'm wondering if anyone has experience, resources, contracts & other documents, etc. to address this project. Thanks!
