Raised beds, garden rules, corn, basil, tomatoes, and other edible crops. The official garden site also describes a community compost area, fruit trees, a seed library, pollinator-garden resources, and seasonal workshops.
Garden design
The garden is organized primarily around raised growing beds. Public areas and plotholder spaces are separated, with fruit trees and fencing marking some of the private growing areas.
Home garden takeaways
The garden demonstrates raised-bed food production, seasonal vegetable growing, community composting, irrigation, fruit-tree care, seed sharing, and pollinator gardening.
