Grace Park Community Garden

That bright green rectangle to the left of the Basalt High School is the approximate location of the new Grace Park (name may change) Community Garden.

An idea I would like to float for a future community garden, or an exapsnion of this one, is a Permaculture Food Forest, where instead of or in addition to your own dedicated plot, you may have a share in a polyculture garden, where perennial and annual food plants grow as if in a forest, which allows us to create guilds of companion plants that support each other's nutrient needs.  You can read about an emerging Food Forest Garden in Seattle here:

"It's Not A Fairy Tale" - by Clare Leschin-Hoar

"Beacon Food Forest" - the website for the effort itself.

If you are interested in having a garden plot in Grace Park CG, please leave a comment below, with your name, phone number and email.  We will contact you as Spring approaches and work begins on the new garden!
