Start a Community Food Garden - the Essential Handbook by Lamanda Joy
Recommended by the American Community Gardening Association
Community gardening enhances the fabric of towns and cities through social interactions and accessibility to fresh food, creating an enormously positive effect in the lives of everyone it touches. LaManda Joy, the founder of Chicago's Peterson Garden Project and a board member of the American Community Gardening Association, has worked in the community gardening trenches for years and brings her knowledge to the wider world in Start a Community Food Garden. This hardworking guide covers every step of the process: fundraising, community organizing, site sourcing, garden design and planning, finding and managing volunteers, and managing the garden through all four seasons. A section dedicated to the basics of growing was designed to be used by community garden leaders as an educational tool for teaching new members how to successfully garden.
LaManda Joy is an award-winning Master Gardener and the founder and executive director of the Peterson Garden Project in Chicago, Illinois, which oversees seven community gardens and approximately 3,000 gardeners. She is the author (with Theresa Gale) of Fearless Food Gardening in Chicagoland and the creator of the acclaimed blog The Yarden. She is a nationally recognized specialist, lecturer, and writer on urban edible gardening. LaManda is also a member of the American Community Gardening Association's board of directors, has received the Robert Mondavi Growing Through Giving Award, and has been featured in the Mrs. Clean Day Get Inspired is a film series by Meyers. She has given talks at the Library of Congress, the Field Museum, the Chicago Flower and Garden Show, and the Seed Savers Exchange Annual Conference on historical Victory Gardens.
