I have just joined my neighborhood community garden in Chattanooga–it is the St. Alban’s community garden at the St. Alban’s Episcopal Church. The garden is five (5) minutes from my house and has been in existence since 2005. I found the garden online and the members seem very excited to have me.
The garden has 36 raised beds, which vary in size from 4′ x4′ to 4′ x 12′. I got a 4′ x 4′ plot because it is almost summer and I don’t really know how to garden. I want to volunteer and help the other gardeners with their plots and learn from the master gardenders that have plots there.
The garden, which is organic, supports eating fresh, locally grown food and appreciation of the source of food we eat. A section of the garden is set aside for families with school-age children who would like to garden, to help encourage children to eat more vegetables.

Very cool! I can’t wait to read more.
we are going to go visit my garden plot when you come over—so bring clothes to do gardening and also bring your tennis shoes and a bathing suit!
My bathing suit is in storage, so I don’t think I will be bringing it. Also, it’s too hot too spend too much time outdoors during the daylight hours, so I’m not really gung ho on helping you with the garden. I’ve been neglecting my own!
