I am seeking as many resources possible to help with a garden that we have but hasn't been maintained since 2021. Our headquarters building has an organic garden plot of approximately 1,800 sq ft. It is meant to be maintained by the residents of the adjacent
apartment building we own for formerly homeless adults.</div>

Our residents have inquired about restarting the garden club this year, but the structure and knowledge of community gardening was lost during staff turnover. We would appreciate any advice, resources, and/or manpower to help get this garden started again.</div>
