Gardens in the Forge

Farm Map

project every block

How many vegetable gardens are there in Rodgers Forge? Herb gardens? Fruit Trees? Nut Trees? How many compost piles do we have here? Or what about worm bins?

The first project of the Farm Initiative is Project Every Block which will document every garden in the Forge. Do we already have a garden on every block? Maybe we do. If so, we'd like to know. If we do not, then we'll promote that as our first project--to establish a vegetable garden on every block of the Forge!

If you have a garden, a fruit or nut tree, a compost pile or worm bin, please contact us here at theforgefarm@comcast.net with your details and we will update the map. Please attach any photos you may have. The more detail the better.
