The curriculum
Each module includes a short written lesson, a worksheet, and discussion questions for your group meeting.
Before beds go in, this module walks through assessing sun exposure, drainage, access points, and the physical limits of your site. You leave with a simple sketch that reflects the actual space, not an idealized version of it.
Covers how to size individual and communal beds, where to place shared tool storage and water access, and how to keep pathways wide enough for wheelbarrows and mobility access.
Introduces a simple rotation format for watering, weeding, composting, and harvest days, so responsibility moves through the group instead of sitting with whoever showed up first.
Not everyone can commit to the same hours or the same physical tasks. This module offers a short intake format to sort participants into roles that fit their actual capacity.
Looks at low-effort ways to keep everyone informed, shared boards, short recurring messages, visible signage, so information does not funnel through a single coordinator.
A practical guide to the handful of documents worth keeping: a site map, a rotation calendar, a contact list, and a short handover note for anyone stepping into a coordinating role.
Covers setting a recurring seasonal meeting to reassess plot assignments, review what worked, and formally hand off any roles that need new hands for the coming months.
Introduces a few lightweight decision-making formats groups can pick from, so disagreements about space, rules, or priorities have a clear, agreed process rather than becoming personal.
Tell us a little about your garden or group and we can point you toward a reasonable starting point.
