Not a community garden initiative, but two members are offering to lead Project Squash.
Basically, if anyone is interested in growing winter squash on their sunny lawns, we will come by, assess the site, dig an 8" hole in your lawn and plant winter squash. Your job is to water the plants over the season. Come harvest time, each grower receives a percentage of their crop, and the rest are donated to local food initiatives (eg Good Food Box and/or Community Cupboard).
If you are interested, please contact Silvie Keen or Cheryl O'Donnell. We are using a Cumberland initiative as a model, see below for details.
