Vancouver's urban agriculture dept. has a wonderful website, cityfarmer.org. One of the papers available on that website has applied the Pattern Language to community gardens.

For more on community gardens, you can join

A lot depends on how many gardeners, how big the space is, what climate (seasonal gardens or year-round).

Hi
I'm looking for information on the physical site design part of the design of community gardens
Specific issues that need be taken into account from your experience, other then the application of
pc design principles of course like: aspect, climate, access etc.
Has anyone found any patterning of the space that works best?
It'd be great to see pictures or photos of already designed and working C'ty gardens: may be googleearth pictures?
All the best
Antonio
