Today, my church started our community garden. We were given a plot of land on the grounds of a child abuse prevention center, and we're using it to create a garden that people will use to grow fruits and vegetables.
The great part about it is that each of us had our own part to play in getting it started. I did most of the trenching for the drip line system, two of the girls laid down the pipes and glued them together, our pastor (the "Hammer") took on hammering down all the rebar, another of the girls did much of the woodcutting, and one of the other guys managed most of the project. By the end, we all worked together to shovel dirt into the new garden beds.
We now have four full raised garden beds, an unfinished drip line system, and dirt in the beds. We'll likely finish the garden in the next two weeks, and though it's a little late to plant some types of crop, we'll begin planting.
