Good Karma Garden Project

An ongoing gift economy project, launched spring 2012

Visit the Good Karma Gardens web site


Our mission is to enable people to grow and eat nutritious, delicious and sustainable food, starting small and paying it forward. Whether you live in an apartment or home, rent or own, have a yard or patio or balcony, we welcome all comers. We will provide free guidance and help to participants who are willing to show up for each other and learn. If you want to join in, either as a volunteer, or to start a garden yourself, contact Swami at TransitionMarVista@gmail.com.

For those wanting garden guidance, to help us understand your specific needs, please answer this Questionnaire:

Name, address, phone # and email.

How did you learn about us?

What kind of food do you want to grow that you like to eat?
 
Do you own or rent?  Have you got a little patch in the sun?
                                                                                                      
Can you pay for starter plants, compost, and materials if needed?
 
Are you willing to learn to use natural rather than chemical pest controls?     

Once your garden is established, can you spend a few hours per week maintaining it?
If not, can you get or hire someone else to do this work?"

Are you willing to work on one or two neighbors' projects in order to learn and give back?
