I'm interested in starting a community garden. Can you provide any reading information that will assist me with this vision?
My goal is to work with children in the inner-city of NYC
Answer
Patricia, although you live in NY, there is a community gardening course at PHS called Garden Tenders I'd recommend that covers your questions and more in addition to connecting you to community gardening resources and allies in the city. Info below on the course and how to register:

Additionally, the following Subject Guides offer information, websites, and resources to help you learn more about policies and protocols regarding community vegetable gardens and nurseries. Links below:
