To whom it may concern,
I am wanting to start a community garden in my town. The local council wants to know how it is going to be run and how the committee will be structured before they allocate us any land. I was just wondering how you have structured your garden committee and what rules and regulations you have to comply by?
Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
kind regards
Simone

Hi Simone,
I would suggest having a read over some of the more established community garden’s business plan to see how they structure their committees. Basically, there a various ways on a sliding-scale of formality. If you have enough keen volunteers, you could seek incorporation which allows you to elect officer bearers, open a bank account, receive funds, take out insurance and hold an AGM. Otherwise, you may wish to seek to be auspiced by a like-minded community group e.g. neighbourhood centre and fall under their umbrella of insurance etc.
Hope this helps

Hi Graeme and gang, the garden is looking wonderful!! I have put a lot of new information up on my blog that may be helpful to all the aspiring organic food growers – the latest is an introduction to companion planting and dealing with the cabbage white butterfly plus beetroot recipes, and there’s a lot more practical stuff and tips I have gathered along the way. Hope folk find it useful. http://www.growfoodslowfood.blogspot.com Kindly
