About this Garden Plan

This community-based garden is 6,675 square feet, includes a 12'X36' commercial greenhouse, and is in the infrastructure stages of development. Most automatic watering systems are installed and some beds will be built over winter. The soil has not yet been built up with compost or fertilizer. The plant list is only a "wish list' for cover crop soil-building over the winter. Outside the garden there will be 5 cold-frame pods, each 8'X4'.
