For
those folks on the Internet not familiar with the SF Bay Area,
Brisbane is a charming little secluded town just outside of
San Francisco, California. Nestled beside the San Bruno Mountain,
Brisbane manages to avoid much of San Francisco's fog and is
often the perfect place to enjoy some sunny gardening.
We've
had a community garden here in town
for some years (pic above) but as
of Jan. 2005, we moved to a new location.
The new site is on San Francisco Street,
just West of the post office, and
has 39 plots. There are fewer trees
than in our previous location, so
we are going to need to be more careful
about watching that things don't get
too dry.
Most
people have a mix of vegetables and
flowers in their plots. There are
also some common areas around the
perimeter of the garden, and everybody
shares in the tending/watering of
the flowers there.
Here
is a downloadable PDF showing
the plot numbers and layout and here are some photos of the
current garden.
A
couple of times a year the gardeners
get together to do bigger maintenance
projects involving common-area weeding,
shredding, and composting.
The
community garden is a wonderful place to relax while doing some
watering, socialize with the other gardeners, or to really get
your hands dirty with some good hard work!
