Any Community gardening sites in Pocatello.....zoo area?

7 years ago

Does anyone know of space offered for gardeners in the vicinity of the zoo, to clean museum and old town region by the old grey hound stop? I'd like to garden but don't have the space where I reside. Any suggestions on spaces available would be appreciated. Thank you.

Ethnic Community Garden-Any Input?

With such a wonderful mixture of peoples I think part of your job will become redundant pretty early as in having to organise their plantings of native crops, it'll probably just happen as a matter of course. Me thinks p'raps all you'll have to organise is the mixture of cultures when allotting the plots. I wonder if it would make for more interaction between the gardeners not to have different sections for different ethnic groups, rather allocate by a draw or something. What a wonderful idea, there's a different 'air' to people who get down to the soil and I daresay that all of us lose the cares of the world whether we're tending a pot or a plot. Best wishes for your project. Here is a link that might be useful: COGS

Starting an apartment community garden - any advice?
Q

About 2 years ago, our church started a community garden. I just received my 2nd plot. It's mostly trial and error. It's like having an in-ground garden, but less weeding. Just set some rules...do not pick from other gardens, be mindful if you are doing trellises to not block out sun to adjacent plots (there is about 2 feet between each of our plots, and we have 48), help each other water if you have a spicket, mulch walkways, don't throw weeds and dead plants in walkway - set up a compost area - that what we did....this is some rules we have in ours.

Hi Jessica, The link below has a list of all the area garden clubs. You need to e-mail the area director to get the info for the group you're interested in, or to figure out exactly which one is closest to where you live, because they do not have web sites. There is a link for the Botanical Gardens on the page though. You might be interested in that. Also late each spring a bunch of us from GardenWeb have a local get together/exchange. It is great fun so keep an eye out for that next year. Petiolaris, Menne had their pitcher plants(and other bog plants) on sale buy one get one free last week. I don't know if that is still going on.
