Nocatee Community GardensLet's grow something together, right here in the neighborhood.
Neighbors in Nocatee Community Gardens are starting a collaborative gardening club — and figuring out where to put it. This is where we explore possible sites, divide the work, plan the crops, and keep every dollar visible.
New neighbors are approved by an organizer before the member area opens.
The land question comes first
Nothing is decided yet. No site is on the table, so members are building a shared checklist for sun, water access, parking, and drainage. Once options appear, each one will live on the message board with a vote attached, so the choice is made together and on the record.
How joining works
1. Request access
Tell us your street, your skills, and why you're interested.
2. An organizer approves you
An organizer reviews new neighbors. You'll get an email.
3. Jump in
Help scout land, claim a chore, and add what you can grow.
How we grow together
Joining is free to start. We build this garden by learning from each other, growing food, and pitching in — with knowledge, labor, tools, and know-how. Money helps too: dues, fundraising, and sponsors keep the beds going. This is the shape of a club that takes care of its place and its people, not a rigid rule yet.
Pitch in
Teach, learn, and work the beds. Hours in the garden, chores, work days, and sharing skills, tools, seed, and know-how all count. That's how we become a community, not just a plot.
Keep it going
Contribute financially when you can, help raise funds, or introduce a local sponsor. If we adopt dues, amounts get voted on before anyone is asked to pay — land, water, seed, feed, and coverage have real costs.
Share the harvest
What we grow is meant to be eaten and given. Help harvest, pack, and get food to neighbors, a pantry, or whoever needs it this week.
There is more than one way to belong. Time, skill, tools, food, funds, and connections all keep the garden alive. Talk with an organizer about how you want to help.
