A different kind of community garden

What if a group of people started a different type of community garden?

Not one where we all go out and find a plot of land and equally work/share, but one where we use our own property?

We could take a section of our property, (many of us have this set up already) and use it as a "community garden" section.

We would all grow different kinds of fruits and veggies and share them with each other.

Considering the various microclimates on the coast, we could have some amazing food for very little cost.

It would require very little organization time, in fact meeting time can mostly be done via email/groups or blogs.

This is a way that we can help to feed ourselves and each other without relying so much on grocery stores.

Friends that do not have property to grow their own fruits/veggies can contribute by helping out in another friends garden.

Let me know your thoughts.

Peacefully yours
Tejas
