We are so blessed to have had such a wonderful Wisdom Keeper in the past who volunteered her time to nurture our community gardens, Sue Anderson! She is still with us in spirit. She developed this comprehensive guide for our Community Gardens that can be used in your garden too and can be followed every month. Thanks Sue!!
