  • Lets Move Community Garden Resource Guide
    Community Garden Resource Guide As part of Let’s Move Faith and Communities, First Lady Michelle Obama has challenged congregations and neighborhood organizations to plant gardens in their communities. There are many positive benefits to starting a community garden: increasing access to healthy, fresh food; improving soil and water quality; providing exercise for people within a wide range of physical ability; and creating the opportunity to teach about nutrition, agriculture, and ecology. In short, starting a garden can help make real and lasting change in communities. Whether you are new to gardening or have had many seasons in the soil, there are a wide variety of resources available to help you start a community garden at your organization or congregation. How do I get started? To learn more about the “how-to” for starting a new garden, the University of California Cooperative Extension’s Community Garden Start-Up Guide provides guidance on how to organize a sustainable garden site in your neighborhood. This is a great starting resource for your community garden: http://celosangeles.ucdavis.edu/files/97080.pdf. Where can I find technical assistance? The People’s Garden: This U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) initiative challenges people from all walks of life to create gardens through collaborative efforts. People’s Gardens vary in size and type, but all have a common purpose – to help the local community they’re within and the environment. Visit the People’s Garden website to find the garden closest to you or consider starting one in your community. Search their online database to find technical resources, financial resources, and garden-based curricula.

To address this issue, a backyard aquaponics program was implemented from 2010 to 2016 to offer additional avenues to food sovereignty in a rural predominantly Native Hawaiian community. Aquaponics provides a contained and sustainable food production system that models Native Hawaiian principles of land and water stewardship.

  • Raised Bed Gardening Guide Advantages of Raised Bed Gardening
    RAISED BED GARDENING GUIDE ADVANTAGES OF RAISED BED GARDENING Raised Bed Gardening is an organic growing method which allows you to grow a larger, more plentiful harvest with less cost, in less space, using less water and seeds, and less work than traditional gardens. • Growing your own garden helps families improve their health through better nutrition. • With Raised Garden Beds, plant placement is done differently than in traditional row gardens, allowing you to grow five times as many crops as traditional gardens. • Raised Garden Beds use 20% of the space of single-row gardens. They can be located closer to the house where they will get more attention and care, resulting in a better, easy to manage garden and a more usable harvest. • Because your gardening space is more compact and productive, Raised Garden Beds reduce water usage significantly as you only water the productive area of your garden and not weeds or empty soil. • Raised Garden Beds use specially formulated soil which does not require tillers to break it up, added fertilizers, or weed killers. • The special soil used in Raised Garden Beds is not dug from your existing soil which means it does not contain weed seeds. The soil is not as compact which means if weeds seeds blow in, they are easily removed. SETTING UP YOUR GARDEN WHAT DO I NEED? 1. Lifetime Raised Garden Beds 2. Soil Mix 3. Weed Barrier 4. Seeds or Starts SOIL MIX: VERMICULITE Vermiculite is used to retain moisture in soil. The more coarse the vermiculite the better. PEAT MOSS Peat moss makes the soil lighter, more loose and helps with water retention.

  • At God's Table
    At God’s Table Food Justice for a Healthy World April 5-8, 2013 Welcome to EAD 2013! — the 11th annual national gathering of men and women of faith who want to be a force for change for the betterment of all. This high impact weekend, sponsored by the ecumenical Christian community, is grounded in biblical witness and shared traditions of justice, peace and integrity of creation. Our goal is to strengthen the Christian voice and mobilize for advocacy on specific U.S. domestic and international policy issues. This weekend, we will explore At God’s Table: Food Justice for a Healthy World. You will join nearly a thousand Christians advocating for a world in which every person, in present and future generations, has a place “At God’s Table.” EAD 2013 follows in the wake of national elections, a new Congress, a lingering Farm Bill debate, and devastating droughts and floods, all with lasting consequences for our society and world. Monday’s Lobby Day will be a critical time to raise our faith voices in support of ending hunger, improving nutrition, creating more just and sustainable food systems and protecting God’s creation – while advocating for a “Faithful Federal Budget.” In a world that produces enough food for everyone, EAD 2013 will explore the injustices in global food systems that leave one billion people hungry, create food price shocks that destabilize communities everywhere, and undermine God’s creation. At God’s Table, all are invited and fed, and the poorest in our midst are given a special place. Together we will seek the abundance and equality that we find reflected in the biblical image of God’s great banquet table (Exodus 16:16-18 & Luke 14:12-24).

  • How to Build a Square Foot Garden
    Fact Sheet Horticulture - 009 How to Build a Square Foot Garden Thralls, Edmund L., Extension Faculty, Urban Horticulture Tools: Drill (electric or cordless with charged battery) Assorted drill bits Screwdriver bit appropriate for the screws being used The Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (IFAS) is an Equal Opportunity Institution authorized to provide research, educational information and other services only to individuals and institutions that function with non-discrimination with respect to race, creed, color, religion, age, disability, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, national origin, political opinions or affiliations. U.S. Department of Agriculture, Cooperative Extension Service, University of Florida, IFAS, Florida A. & M. University Cooperative Extension Program, and Boards of County Commissioners Cooperating. Materials: Pressure treated lumber vs. conventional lumber: Pressure treated lumber manufactured since 2004 no longer use a form of arsenic to protect the lumber from insects. It is significantly less expensive than most other lumber available at the “Big Box” stores. If you wish to stain or paint treated lumber, you may have to wait up to six months for it to dry enough to stain or paint. Use care when sawing pressure treated lumber; wear an appropriate respirator and throw away sawdust and left over scraps in the trash. Do not try to recycle pressure treated lumber in a compost bin. Conventional lumber has either natural resistance to pests and fungus (redwood, cedar and cypress) or no resistance to pests and fungus (pine, oak, and poplar). Staining and painting may be necessary for the wood to last more than a couple of years as a garden bed.

  • BEGINNER SQAURE FOOT Garden Plans 3 FREE PLANS to HELP YOU PLANT the PERFECT GARDEN Includes: 3 Different Sizes, Companion Planting & Helpful Tips
    BEGINNER SQAURE FOOT garden plans 3 FREE PLANS TO HELP YOU PLANT THE PERFECT GARDEN includes: 3 different sizes, companion planting & helpful tips Abbagail @ Sage & Shepherd Farm Welcome YOU’RE ON YOUR WAY TO A PRODUCTIVE GARDEN I think the hardest part of starting a vegetable garden is knowing what to plant and where to plant it. Certain vegetables grow better beside one another, which is also known as companion planting. For example some plants will just grow healthier, others will keep pests away, some will guard each other from the elements, and some help reduce weeds. Knowing these basics can help save you a lot of mishaps in your first year vegetable gardening. -abbagail WWW.SAGEANDSHEPHERD.COM Square Foot Garden Plans | 2 HOW TO USE THE PLANS Each of these plans is designed for a particular size space. The first is if you just have a small space like a balcony, the second, if you have a medium space like a suburban backyard, and the third if you have a large space, like a few acres. Each plan is based on the square foot gardening method. So for each 1’ x 1’ square space, you plant a different amount of that particular vegetable - it’s different for each veggie. You’ll see a number it the top left of each square. For example, if the number is 1, you plant the one plant in the centre, if the number is 2, you would plant 2 diagonal from each other. See below for the popular number of plants and spacing layout.
