Phase 2 Site Plan

If the community garden is a success and we experience a demand for more planting space, here is a Phase 2 plan, showing a possible way to expand the garden. Click on the photo and save to your computer to see a full size version.

PYCG Site Plan - Phase 2

We could double the parking area, and double the fenced space to create a 2/3 acre garden. A 30 ft. by 40 ft. shade pavilion with a solid roof could be built to provide a comfortable, weatherproof gathering place for larger groups. A plumbing system for watering could be constructed, hooked to village water, with 2 spigots in different areas of the garden. The original 1050 gallon water tank from Phase 1 could be recycled into a rain cistern, collecting water from the roof of the shade pavilion. The pavilion could also be partially enclosed to provide a larger storage area for tools and supplies.

A 12 ft. by 40 ft. greenhouse would provide a protected area for growing winter salad crops and starting spring seedlings. The kids garden area could be expanded to include a butterfly garden, a vine-covered tunnel for exploring, and a sunflower forest. The original 8 ft. by 10 ft. tool shed from Phase 1 could be recycled into a kids play house.

A small planting of fruit trees, a second storage area for mulch and compost, and an additional 46 raised beds for members would be added.
