The Calvin College Community Garden is a new garden for students, faculty, staff, seminary families, and alumni of Calvin College. We’re in our first year and we’re still pretty small (18 6×4 foot raised beds) but learning as we go. We’re committed to sustainability, healthy living, education, and community. We want to celebrate God’s creation and learn more about how we can be responsible earth-keepers.
It's a good blog and a fine garden. And I like seeing how she's putting her Trillium experience to work, using the same methods we follow at Trillium, right down to how she stakes her tomatoes.
It strikes me that this business of scalability is important. In contrast to conventional agriculture -- where the only methodology is bigger, faster, and more -- our basic principles and practices can be scaled up or down depending on the local circumstances, whether a half-acre market garden or a 1,400 member CSA.
