We have the Sustainable Garden that will be used as a ˇ§trial gardenˇ¨ for fruits and berries this upcoming season, plus the vegetable plot (30ˇ¦X50ˇ¦) can be used as individual smaller plots by subscription or a communal venture that would be shared by the participants and/or a % given to Elders. A Greenhouse to grow ˇ§startsˇ¨, a water tank for irrigation, a TroyBilt tiller are all available through this volunteer project. A compost demonstration project, green manure demo, etc. can all be incorporated. ˇ§Value-Addedˇ¨ products can be identified and become a cottage industry for anyone who is interested.
