Great post by Our Own Organic Gardens. We couldn’t agree more! I would only ask that one should always hope for the best, people will come and will bring their own unique ideas and projects that will push the garden in unexpected directions.
And speaking of practicalities, always try to negotiate the longest lease possible. 7 years may seem like a lot at the beginning but it will be gone before you know it.
Another tip would be: establish links with local schools and organisations. They have the people and their own promotion channels. It is sometimes difficult to fit with their schedules and regulations, but when you make it, it’s worth every minute of effort.
