Create A Schedule

The final step in planning your community garden is to setup a schedule for the planting season.

Here are some things you'll want to include in your schedule:

  • Planting Day / Weekend
  • Opening Celebration
  • Water days
  • Weeding days
  • Observation days
  • Garden Party (mid-season, monthly, or even weekly!)
  • Harvest (Party)
  • Workdays*

*For any large projects, you may want to consider holding "workdays", where everyone comes and pitches in for a few hours to get a big job completed. For example, putting up a fence might be a project for the whole group to tackle together.

Use a calendar to mark off all the key dates, including watering, weeding, and observation days. Consider posting it somewhere accessible in the garden.
