Incredible Edible Community Gardens Survey

Incredible Edible Mid-Peninsula Community Gardens Survey

The purpose of this survey is to identify interest in establishing and maintaining one or more community gardens in the Mid-Peninsula area, from Menlo Park to San Carlos.

Complete this survey if you are interested in participating in or supporting a community garden where you can

Grow vegetables, herbs, and berries for your household or to donate;
Learn more about organic gardening, or share your knowledge;
Build community.

Incredible Edible Mid-Peninsula does not own or operate any community gardens but does serve as a clearinghouse to connect interested gardeners, and will offer support and guidance to form and maintain the gardens.

A "community garden" is any land gardened by a group of people with either individual plots or cooperative plots. All members contribute to the common areas either on work days or in regular shared maintenance of common areas. The members also agree on rules and how to enforce them.
