Treehugger Organics is preparing to get larger. We will go and sign the papers next week to get 3 pieces of property donated by the Shelby County Land Bank to create 3 new community gardens in an area between Sam Cooper and Broad east of Tillman. There is one on Lipford and two a block away on Carpenter. We are going to make these self-sustaining, organic gardens with water reclamation systems that are solar powered. It is going to be a lot of work and timely, but I am sure we will get there. If all goes well, there is an old store between the two garden streets that would make a great organic, locally-grown store and CSA distribution center. It may be a couple of years, but we have to keep our eyes toward the future. Here are some pics of the properties. Anyone who would like to make a donation to the gardens feel free, it is tax deductible.
The Thankful Garden (588 Lipford) 47'x125'
The Little Buddy Garden (526 Carpenter) 40'x113'
The Peace Garden (533 Carpenter) 40'x113'
The "Future" Garden Store hopefully. It is a great space and there is a large open plot next door for chickens and bees.
