Building Beds, Planting Seeds, and Remembering Bugs

University of Kentucky Extension Service telling everybody
a thing or two about bugs

Most everybody has put something in the ground.

By raising high beds, we were able to keep the plants out of the water

Hello! Very happy to have stumbled upon this site. We have just moved from Louisville about 40 miles northeast in rural Carroll County. Our thirty acres is situated inside of 300 belonging to a Zen Monastery :) It's wonderful to have Amish folk and monks for neighbors! Anywho, we've been working as hard as two people with a small car can ... with future visions of an intentional/sustainable permaculture community of like-minded people!

I look forward to browsing through and around your blog a bit more ~ and a big wave from down the road :)

Namaste ♥

About our garden

The Community Garden at Americana has been an essential part of programming since 2006. Growers from all over the world come together to grow food for their families and to share with their community. "It's the whole world in 1/5th of an acre."

Many of our growers come from places where subsistence gardening is a way of life. Green space & gardening had to be sacrificed when they left home, especially when relocating to urban areas, but now Americana can offer them the option of gardening on our grounds. The community garden is an important asset to our community as a neighborhood gathering place, a resource for families to obtaining healthy food, and an outdoor education facility for our youth.

The continued success of our garden program depends on our generous donors and volunteers. For more information on how you can assist the program and be a part of our garden, contact Abby Rudolph, Community Garden Coordinator, at 502-366-7813 or abby@americanacc.org.
