Community Garden. The American Community Gardening Association (ACGA) website provides numerous tips and guides to starting a community garden. Since there is very little background information on the development of the Clarkston community garden, it is hard to determine if the garden was developed according to the recommended guidelines. However, looking at the policies and procedures in place now, the Clarkston Community Garden is a fully functioning garden with a steering committee, garden president, membership contract and rules that address potential problems community gardens face. The Clarkston community garden has reached its target population, since all but two plots are full for the season. The garden has been more ethnically diverse in the past, but members still represent three major countries where people in Clarkston originated. The amount of food grown in the garden is impressive, and the average annual harvest per member (50 pounds) provides an adequate dose. Literature does not specify a standard amount a community garden must grow to be determined successful. Success is more frequently determined by community involvement and the growth of any and all crops. To this end, the community garden has high involvement from different community gardens. The major challenges associated with the garden were having members commit to community workdays and problems with vandalism. The revised membership agreement for 2013 has put in place rules that require a minimum number of community work hours over the season to keep a plot. The effectiveness of this requirement is yet to be shown. In order to overcome challenges in the community garden, the following recommendations are made:
Community Garden. The goal of the Clarkston Community Garden is to provide a space where the diverse community of Clarkston can grow food organically and connect with neighbors who also enjoy growing food. All residents interested in growing organically are the target population of this program. Started in 2002, the community garden today consists of 27 individual garden plots and several communal herb plots. One garden plot is reserved for a food panty/coDop garden, which grows fresh, organic vegetables for members of the coDop and pantry and is run by CCC FSI staff. Community gardeners pay $40 a year for an inDground plot. Thirty of those dollars go to the CCC for rent and water usage and $10 goes to the garden for communal supplies. Raised beds are $25 a year, with $20 going to CCC and $5 to the garden. The garden does not allow any pesticides or nonDorganic fertilizers to be used. Growers supply their own seeds and plants and must begin preparing and planting plots no later than April 15th. The Clarkston Community gardens started in 2002 with just seven inDground plots. The soil was Georgia hardpan clay and was previously a garbageDdumping site for the county. In the first few months, assistants from the Atlanta Community Food Bank and several volunteer groups helped to remove junk, kudzu vines and rocks as well as create the plots. A grant from The Community Foundation helped to stock the tool shed with shared tools. Box 2 below details changes to the land over the past nine years. In January of 2012 the coDop/pantry garden plot was created with a design from Global Growers Network and the labor of master gardeners, Emory volunteers and the Food Security Intern at CCC.
