We are building a community garden in inner city Bridgeport, CT on a 1.2 acre parcel. This is our first community garden project, although some of our volunteers have had extensive public and private garden and other project experience. The garden will consist of three sections, a serenity garden, an organic vegetable garden and a lawn. Although it is privately leased, and its funding is primarily private, we anticipate in-kind support from the city. We would appreciate any assistance in the following areas (1) sample budgets on projects of this size and/or software suggestions, (2) job descriptions for a part-time, seasonal garden manager and similar positions, (3) any experience of requesting and obtaining in-kind benefits (materials and/or services) from a municipality including submitting a "wish list". I'm certain we will have many more questions along the way. With gratitude, Jeff Grant
