Community Gardening

Picture
Our community garden is a hybrid garden model where some plots are open to the community and others are rented to private gardeners.  We practice ecological gardening, which means that we do not use any inorganic pesticides or insecticides.
​

There are 9 large areas in the garden dedicated to community gardening. The ICG team and its' volunteers maintain all these plots. The produce is harvested by the volunteer members of our garden and for the Chevy Chase food bank. The maintenance of the plots involves enriching the soil with our compost throughout the season, planting seeds and seedlings, weeding, watering as needed, harvesting and planning for succession planting from spring to fall. ​
Our youth educator completed Cornell University's Community Mushroom Educator course and has since presented demonstrations on starting wine cap mushroom beds in your garden or yard. Watch the YouTube video below for a quick demonstration on how to create your own wine cap mushroom bed!

Also you can find mushroom spawn from many sources, but one we recommend is Field and Forest.
