2 Starting a School / Community Garden with Grassroots Gardens of Buffalo What is a community garden? A community garden is a piece of land used communally by friends and neighbors for growing vegetables and flowers, and providing opportunities for positive social interactions and recreation. There are many different kinds of community gardens plots can be divided up among neighbors, a garden could be a school-based garden, some gardens grow food for food pantries, while others are purely ornamental with space for block club meetings and neighborhood celebrations - the possibilities are endless. This packet includes: Information about Grassroots Gardens of Buffalo and the Buffalo School Garden Committee Timeline for starting a community garden Application and grant materials Approved School / Community Garden projects will receive the following support from GGB: GGB provides materials such as topsoil, raised bed materials, plant material, and seeds. Quantities available to each garden are subject to availability each growing season. It is important to work with our staff during the winter months to plan for your upcoming seasonal needs, so that we can budget for expenses accordingly. We hold plant distributions as soon as material becomes available, typically after Memorial Day each season. We provide liability insurance for the garden parcel, which provides liability coverage for gardeners, volunteers and garden visitors. Structures (such as tool sheds and greenhouses) are not permitted. We hold a workshop series in the Spring and Fall workshop topics include: building raised beds, approaching garden design, harvesting and preserving herbs, creating healthy soil, and more. If you need access to a fire hydrant for assistance watering your garden, we can help you acquire a use permit from the City of Buffalo, Division of Water. You must make us aware of this request no later than March of each year. We will supply you with a copy of the permit (for use from April October), and we will retain a copy in our office. You are responsible for purchasing the hardware needed to use the hydrant. We have information on where to purchase this hardware, as well as instructions on how to use a fire hydrant available for community gardeners. We have a limited number of tools available for use when you have larger work days. We do not have any power tools. We request that you coordinate with our staff in advance of the work day to reserve tools and schedule a time for you to pick them up from our office. 2
3 Summer / Early Fall October 31 Fall / Early Winter Timeline for Starting a School / Community Garden: Grow community interest engage residents and hold a neighborhood meeting to discuss the possible garden. Involve anyone who may be interested andsee if a community garden is needed in your neighborhood. School Garden Application is Due- Applicants will be notified in November upon acceptance Brainstorm ideas for the garden with the community: What kind of garden is it going to be? Identify a location for the proposed community garden Things to consider when selecting a garden site: Sun - most vegetables require six hours of direct sunlight Shade it s nice to have a shady area to sit in Water - this is very important to think about beforehand! Is there a neighboring house that will let you use their water? If not, is there a hydrant in close proximity? You must have a water source of some kind. Visibility - people will watch over the garden and theft and vandalism will be less of a concern if it is visible from the street. Also, more people may become involved in the garden. Size - it is better to start out small. Creating a well-developed and sustainable garden is a lot of work and can be daunting. Start small you can always expand in the future. Winter Develop a garden committee - this way one person does not end up doing all of the work. Identify the resources that you have in your community what skills and resources are already in your community? Build off of existing assets and strengths. We require that there are at least five people devoted to working in the garden. Late February Have the homeowners that are adjacent to the garden write letters of support for the garden. There must be one from each homeowner. April Start planning work dates. A good way to start is by having a ground breaking work day in the garden with volunteers. Planning the garden: Planning committee: we require that at least 5 people commit to the garden for 5 years. Of those we suggest that two people take on these roles and work together: o Garden Coordinator - deals with the mechanics of the garden - watering, building beds, how much topsoil they need, administrative issues, mowing, etc. o Garden Steward (lead gardener) primary point of contact for GGB, picks up plant materials at distributions, helps gardeners keep in touch with each other (whether it be a Facebook page, , or weekly meetings in the garden, it is important for gardeners to keep in contact and involved) 3
4 These roles are suggestions feel free to customize based on your neighborhood and your needs. Using the site plan of the garden you submitted to GGB with your application, now it is time to decide what materials you will need and where to source them. When laying out the garden think about leaving plenty of room for getting materials in and out, including a place for trucks to deliver large materials, such as topsoil. It is also important to set up some rules/guidelines for the garden - are the beds going to be communal or is everyone going to have their own bed? How will you water (sprinklers, soaker hoses, handheld hoses)? Who is responsible for watering? What is the protocol for putting the beds to rest in the fall? How often do people have to work in the garden (if people have their own raised beds do they have to put in hours working in the communal areas)? These are just a few suggestions; the rules should be set in writing before starting the garden. Prepare and develop the site: This is when all of your plans come to fruition! Work days and volunteers need to be organized. If both the coordinator and steward cannot be there, a neighborhood gardener should be onsite so that they can be the leader on projects and the garden plans are honored It is good to have a day of cleanup and preparation before starting large projects. Vegetables need to be planted in beds that are at least 12" high. A good first project is to develop the beds and paths. Usually, all of the garden plans cannot be executed in one year. If you are doing vegetable beds this would be a good first project so that the veggies can be planted and you can have produce your first year. Once the groundwork is laid more people may be interested in joining the garden. Things to consider when starting a community garden: Lack of community participation be creative and plan activities and events to help engage neighbors Vandalism/theft signage often helps Conflict between gardeners be prepared to address conflict early before it escalates Soil health - add cover crops, rotate crops, add organic matter Community and neighbors must think that the garden is a good investment - keep them involved and happy about the garden Regular maintenance days will keep the garden up weekly weeding and harvesting is important to fully utilize the garden Large work days in the spring, summer, and fall are important for larger projects that you may need additional help with, such as installing pathways, etc. 4

11 Garden Grant Application School Garden Name/School# Garden grants will be awarded to both new gardens and existing gardens to help with start up and recurring costs. Grants can be used to fund all or a portion of your school garden depending on the size and scope of the project. School garden grants cannot be used to pay for a garden coordinator stipend. Schools that receive a Garden Grant are responsible for submitting receipts/invoices for materials purchased using grant funds to Grassroots Gardens of Buffalo. Submission deadlines will be provided to grant recipients. Failure to submit receipts/invoices will result in loss of funding eligibility in subsequent years. Please complete each section below. *Are you applying for a grant for a new garden? *Briefly describe the project or portion of the project for which you are seeking a grant (will the grant be used for construction, maintenance, programming, etc). *What are your garden team s goals for the garden for this school year? 11

13 *Please provide a copy of your annual budget for the school garden and identify below line items that will be paid for using the Garden Grant funds. *Please remember to submit a basic sketch of your garden. 13
14 Neighborhood and Community Engagement School gardens are a great way to positively engage the residents that live around your school as well as community stakeholders engaged in school programs with the students, teachers, and staff of the building. They provide a welcoming venue that acts as a meeting place between the school community and neighbors to discuss the good (and bad) things that are happening in the neighborhood. Events held in gardens liven up the community and build social capital. There is potential to find mentorships between knowledgeable residents and students, and help the young people that travel to the neighborhood become involved in their community. Will the garden be open for the public to use as a community space (events, general hanging out)? If so, how will the public know that the garden is used solely for school activities (signage, rules)? Will the garden be open for the school community or public to use as a gardening space (community beds, plots for use)? How do you plan on getting non-school community members involved with your garden? Are there any other organizations involved in your school community or neighborhood that your school garden team could form a partnership with to help with the establishment and upkeep of the community garden? (mentorship program, afterschool program, etc.) Thank you for your application! Date 14
