Ideas and Questions

• We will be using the Square Foot Gardening method in order to get maximum use of our space.  In addition to being efficient, it looks nice.  Visit www.squarefootgardening.com to find out more about this way of gardening.
• Let’s build a few elevated platforms (about 3 or 4 feet high) so that people with back problems will be able to participate.
• The garden will contain not just fruits and vegetables, but flowers and herbs as well.
• The garden should be put together with beauty, and not just functionality, in mind.
• Create parts of the garden to be used for prayer walks, small group meetings, etc.
• Add decorative elements to the garden, such as bird baths, statues, plaques with verses, etc.

Here are some questions that need to be answered;

• Will we charge dues?
• How will we fund the initial costs?
• What size should the individual plots be?
• What will we do with the produce we grow?
• Should we be organic?
• What sorts of tools and workspaces should we make available?

Welcome

This is a new venture, one which we are just beginning here at St. Timothy, and we’re just in the initial planning stages, so it will be interesting to watch this thing unfold and evolve.  For now, this site will be primarily a means of communication between those of us who are involved in getting our garden going.  To find out more about where we hope to go, please look at the About Us link above.
