Silverleaf Community GardensLet's grow something together, right here in the neighborhood.
Neighbors in Silverleaf Community Gardens are starting a collaborative gardening club — and figuring out where to put it. This is where we explore possible sites, divide the work, plan the crops, and keep every dollar visible.
New neighbors are approved by an organizer before the member area opens.
The land question comes first
Nothing has been decided yet—no site is under consideration. Members are currently building a shared checklist covering sun exposure, water access, parking, and drainage. As potential sites are identified, each will be posted on the message board with an attached vote so the final choice is made collectively and on the record.If you’re interested in joining the Silverleaf Gardening Community, please sign up. Once we reach 20 people, we’ll schedule our first in-person meeting. Start engaging today. Explore the site. Feedback is encouraged.
How joining works
1. Request access
Tell us your street, your skills, and why you're interested.
2. An organizer approves you
An organizer reviews new neighbors. You'll get an email.
3. Jump in
Help scout land, claim a chore, and add what you can grow.
How we grow together
Joining is free to start. We build this garden by learning from each other, growing food, and pitching in — with knowledge, labor, tools, and know-how. Money helps too: dues, fundraising, and sponsors keep the beds going. This is the shape of a club that takes care of its place and its people, not a rigid rule yet.
Pitch in
Teach, learn, and work the beds. Hours in the garden, chores, work days, and sharing skills, tools, seed, and know-how all count. That's how we become a community, not just a plot.
Keep it going
Contribute financially when you can, help raise funds, or introduce a local sponsor. If we adopt dues, amounts get voted on before anyone is asked to pay — land, water, seed, feed, and coverage have real costs.
Share the harvest
What we grow is meant to be eaten and given. Help harvest, pack, and get food to neighbors, a pantry, or whoever needs it this week.
There is more than one way to belong. Time, skill, tools, food, funds, and connections all keep the garden alive. Talk with an organizer about how you want to help.
