I’m very proud to have co-produced the cover photograph for the Brooklyn Botanic Garden’s “Community Gardening” guide alongside my partner Davin Risk. Yep, that’s my soiled hand and a bouquet of sage held up at our own Parkdale Community Beer Garden. There are four varieties of sage in that photo which I continue to harvest in droves this year.
But I digress. You might be familar with the Brooklyn Botanic’s guides on a whole host of gardening topics from growing natives to food gardening. This latest guide provides a closer look at the ins and out of community gardening, including hands-on tips for getting started and a case study section profiling several inspiring urban gardens.
If you’re looking to start a community garden but don’t know where to begin I would also suggest “How Does Our Garden Grow? A Guide to Community Garden Success” written by Laura Berman and published by Foodshare.
Congratulations–that is wonderful. And congrats too on a the hard work of gardening with a community.
Woot!!!
Fantastic! Congrats!!
Love that picture! Congrats on the book and thanks for the suggestion on the how to start a community garden – I need it.
That photo is beautiful, and the book is relevant to a project I’m working on, so I think I just might have to get it!
Congratulations!
Great cover!
