[Community_garden] Starting a community garden

[julie young]

It has always been my dream to have a community garden where people can come 
in and take what they need, people can learn about vegetables, see a child 
taste a fresh tomato. Now I am starting one in Shelby, NC. We have been 
provided a site by the city in an area of town where churches and civic 
groups have rallied together to remove drugs and crime and brings back hope 
to a part of that neighborhood.
We are having an planning meeting at the site on April 5th at 5:30pm but I 
have some questions for those of you who have been here.
1. Do you have groups take a plot or just have everyone help everywhere? If 
so how do you define what goes back to those in need?
2. What is a good sized plot?
3. What is the best thing to plant for new gardens?
4. What is your budget and how is it provided for?
Any other suggestions would be great. We want a children's area, raised plat 
for wheelchair access, and  benches for education area.
