Falconhurst Community Garden

We are a new garden, 2009 is our second year. We have 18 families involved, with 2 tiers of membership. The weekly members work one day a week in the garden, the monthly members come to the monthly community workday. We work the land cooperatively, rather than having individual plots. We are growing on about 2500 square feet on a sunny hill facing south. Our garden used to be a lawn. We are still building our soil and fighting bermuda grass. We have 2 thriving beehives (the Love hive and the Peace hive!). We collect rainwater in several cisterns to water but could use more water storage. We are going to build a cob oven this summer for community gatherings. In the future we want to expand the size of our garden and incorporate drip irrigation. We have monthly potlucks and invite the wider community. Last fall we had a Harvest Festival and plan to do so again.
