Gardener Resources

Welcome to our resources section for gardeners, both community gardeners and home gardeners.

Capital District Community Gardens emphasizes organic gardening as we practice being good neighbors to those next door to our mostly urban gardens and encourage good health among all those who eat community garden produce! You will notice this theme throughout all of our materials.
