I just read something this last week that there are going to be new community gardens in the Riverside Avondale area. I'd love to know the answer to this question too - wondering if there are any others in the area?

Community gardens are popping up over the place in the Springfield Historic District, created by Sustainable Springfield.

Here's a recent newspaper article about them:
'Cooking in Season' class: You grew it, now let's prepare it | jacksonville.com

Here's another good article:
Introducing Sustainable Springfield | mySpringfield



and here's a small gallery of the one of their community gardens:
Community Garden - myspringfield's Photos



They just planted a community orchard as well, and will be opening a 2nd community garden in the neighborhood later this year.

I believe they will consult with people in other areas to show them the ropes on how to get one started.

Here's their website: Sustainable Springfield - Home

They hold monthly workshops too, so just send them an email if you want to get touch with them about any of this.

If you are looking for a community garden in NE Florida we can help. You can find Friends of Northeast Florida Community Gardens at http://neflcg.blogspot.com

Find a listing of the gardens in the Directory page.
You can contact any of the gardens listed in the Contact a Community Garden in Your Area"page.

FNFCG was formed in response to a demand for greater cohesion within the community gardens of Northeast Florida. The number of community gardens in Northeast Florida continues to increase, with gardens being started all over, from schools and churches to private businesses and correctional facilities. The opportunity for community gardens to share resources, apply collectively for funding opportunities and communicate collectively with local government increases the efficiency, resiliency and strength of Northeast Florida’s food system.
