Not able
to devote as much time to your garden as you'd like?
Interested in having a vegetable garden but don't
have the expertise to grow one? As a Santa
Monica home or property owner, you can list your space with the City's new
Garden Sharing Registry.
Once
registered, you'll be able
to choose from a list of avid gardeners in need of
space to grow. Together you and your gardener will
structure a sustainable partnership that makes sense
to both of you, including schedule, type of gardening project,
how the cost of seeds, supplies, etc. will be
handled, if and where gardening supplies can be
stored on the property, and the length of the
commitment.
The
home/property owners provide the land and the water
and the gardeners do the work. Together, you
share the crop! The
bounty of benefits could include home-grown
vegetables,
fresh herbs, fragrant flowers, and a deeper
connection with your community.
