Three distinct gardening styles are available at this location:

2. GardenShare
A gardening opportunity to maintain and harvest produce communally
- Gain skills and socialize with experienced gardeners

3. Hydroponics (included in GardenShare membership)
A high tech new gardening technique, hydroponic gardening provides more vegetables in a smaller space using less water than traditional raised bed vegetable gardening. We will host workshops to build the hydroponics system and teach the important concepts. The hydroponics garden activities and outputs are included with the GardenShare membership.
