Introduction Cleveland’s Community Gardening program, Summer Sprout, has been in existence since 1976. The City of Cleveland and Ohio State University Extension, Cuyahoga County (OSUECC) partnered in 1977 and continue to work together to make the program a success. The Summer Sprout program provides soil testing, seeds, starter plants, soil amendments, tilling services, raised bed materials, educational outreach and support to participating gardens. OSUECC works with community partners, including the City of Cleveland Land Bank, who develops land tenureship for garden sites. In 2016, Summer Sprout supported 22 new community gardens in the City of Cleveland, adding to the 172 that returned from the 2015 growing season. Community gardens in Cleveland are diverse; neighborhood clubs, schools, Kentucky Community Garden faith-based groups, non-profit agencies, and many others.

2015

Summer Sprout Applications for new gardens (Appendix A, page 74) were made available during the month of September, 2015. Newly enrolled gardens received acceptance letters by mid-October. Soil tests were taken in October and sent to the University of Massachusetts soil lab to test for lead (Pb), pH, and nutrient levels. Meetings were held in November with new gardeners to discuss the Summer Sprout program and how it would support their projects. 2016 Summer Sprout Renewal forms (Appendix B, page 79) were sent to existing gardens in October of 2015 and were due back to OSU Extension by the middle of November. This form requested updated contact information, garden information, and service and materials needs for 2016. Spring

The Annual Garden Leader Kickoff was held on April 9, 2016 at the Slovenian National Home and provided gardeners with information regarding plant distribution, tilling, and allowed for networking opportunities. Gardeners were also able to purchase a hydrant per- mit and pick up a total of 11,085 vegetable, herb, and flower seed packets.

2016 Garden Leader Kickoff

On April 19th 60 bare root fruit trees and 446 small fruit plants (blackberries, raspberries, and strawberries) were distributed to gardeners at the OSU Extension office. Starting in March soil and leaf humus (totaling 173 and 97 cubic yards, respectively) were delivered to 47 Summer Sprout sites. 17 gardens received a total of 122 pieces of lumber for raised beds. 63 gardens received tilling services through the program. Plant distribution occurred at Stanard Farm from May 12th- 14th. 52,128 starter plants (tomatoes, peppers, collard greens, cabbage, and eggplant) were distributed to gardeners.

Summer

June through September OSUECC staff and interns conducted 130 site visits to Summer Sprout gardens throughout the city. Staff were able to troubleshoot problems, give recommendations, and suggest community resources available to gardens, including grant opportunities and local community development corporations. Staff measured overall garden area and production space, took note of structures on site, and what fruits and vegetables were being grown on site. The Site Assessment Worksheet can be found in Appendix E (page 88). In 2016, OSU Extension, Cuyahoga County held 28 free workshops focusing on various urban agriculture topics throughout the county. Workshop topics include seed starting, youth gardening, fruit tree planting and Site Visit at Ithaca Court Garden pruning, integrated pest management (IPM), composting, hoop houses, cultural crops, and fall planting. Over 225 community members attended these workshops. The 2016 Summer Sprout application for new gardens was made available during the month of July 2016. 22 new community gardens were accepted into the Summer Sprout program for the 2016 gardening season. Fall and Winter

In September, season extension workshops where held and roughly 20 gardens received cover crop seed, and row cover. In 2016 twenty-seven Summer Sprout gardeners graduated OSU Extension’s eight week Dig-In! community garden training program which met once weekly for 2.5 hours January through March of 2016. 2016 had eleven more graduates than 2015! Participants learned how to locate and assess sites, organize a 2015 Dig-In Class group of gardeners, plan and design a garden, grow vegetables and fruit, incorporate integrated pest management practices, identify community resources, and increase neighborhood access to fresh produce. Gardeners had opportunities to network, gain gardening skills, and confidence. Starting in January 2017 Summer Sprout gardeners will be enrolled in OSU Extension Cuyahoga County’s Dig-In program.
