Start a Community Garden
SUN*LV is dedicated to helping local residents and community leaders create sustainable urban neighborhoods through the establishment of community gardens. On the pages in this section, you will find some of the benefits of community gardens, first steps you can take to help establish one in your neighborhood and some ideas on prime locations that may be suitable for a community garden in the Lehigh Valley.
Of course, nothing demonstrates how to start and run a community better than seeing one and talking to gardeners who are participating. We offer you a number of ways to do this:
- Join our SUN*LV Facebook page by clicking below
You can converse online with other gardeners and community leaders. This will be a dynamic source of ideas, solutions and resources for your efforts here in the Lehigh Valley.
- You can also join our mailing list at SUN*LV Mailing List. We'll help keep you connected to other community members and gardeners who may be able to assist you in your efforts.
- The Lehigh Valley Gardens section will give you some facts and contact information for local community gardens you can visit.
- The Success Stories section gives you a more in-depth look at some LV Gardens, including new gardens and more established ones.
The other pages in this section contain ideas on Why community gardens can help your neighborhood, Who to contact, How to get started, and Where to consider locating a garden.
