Archibald Neighborhood Garden 2008 Report

About the Archibald Neighborhood Garden The Archibald Neighborhood Garden (ANG) is located at 28 Archibald St., near the intersection of Archibald and Walnut streets, across from H.O. Wheeler elementary school and next to Dot’s Market in Burlington, Vermont’s Old North End (ONE). Use of the garden site is made possible by the Visiting Nurse Association of Chittenden and Grand Isle Counties, which owns the property. ANG is sponsored by the Burlington Department of Parks and Recreation. Archibald Garden grew out of a need for access to the space and resources to grow fresh fruits and vegetables in the Old North End. Although Burlington is known for its urban agriculture community (in particular, the Intervale) and has a strong network of community gardens operated by the city Department of Parks and Recreation, none of these gardens are in the Old North End. Moreover, the majority of ONE residents rent apartments with limited or no green space, have limited incomes, and limited transportation options. In addition to facilitating garden access in the Old North End, Archibald Garden has helped to build community and encourage urban agriculture in the neighborhood.

About Grow Team ONE (Old North End) Mission: Grow Team ONE cultivates community leadership and learning through gardening in Burlington’s Old North End. Vision: Grow Team ONE aims to create a culture of gardening in Burlington’s Old North End. The community-based group facilitates access to garden space, knowledge, and resources so that all ONE residents can grow, share and eat fresh food. Goals: Grow Team ONE’s goals are to be a resource to residents who want to learn about growing, harvesting and preserving food; facilitate the creation of sustainable home and neighborhood gardens; connect residents looking for garden space with homeowners; improve access to fresh produce for Old North End residents; and implement urban permaculture design principals. Grow Team ONE is a member of Burlington Time Banks, a local network that brings neighbors together to identify community needs and resources and promote the exchange of labor and knowledge.

About the Old North End The Archibald Neighborhood Garden provides garden space in the city’s most ethnically and economically diverse neighborhood. The ONE has a high proportion of femaleheaded households (60%) and 39 percent of children aged 17 and younger live in poverty. About a quarter of ONE adults do not have high school diplomas and homeownership rates are among the lowest in the city (U.S. Census 2000). The garden is located across the street from H. O. Wheeler elementary school and next to Dot’s Market, a convenience store with a small deli counter. Dot’s and the school face a small triangular park which is the site of a weekly summer farmers market.

The gardeners In its second year, Archibald Neighborhood Garden attracted a wide range of gardeners. Thirty gardeners grew fresh, healthy food in the 19 individual and group plots. Many participated weekly during the community gardening times, others helped out with special projects and took part in workshops occurring throughout the growing season. Here’s a snapshot of some of this year’s gardeners: • • • • • •

2008 highlights & accomplishments Expansion: Due to a great demand for garden space in the Old North End, the Archibald Neighborhood garden expanded from two large communal plots to 19 individual and group plots. The change from communal to individual plots was the result of gardeners’ expressed desire to cultivate their own food in their own spaces. The shared herb beds were retained and expanded. Recruitment: Plots were assigned through an application process, with priority given to those living closest to the garden and those who did not have access to other garden sites. The fee was a suggested $20 donation and gardeners were given the option to pay in time dollars or to volunteer at the garden instead of paying in dollars. Gardeners in all but five of the plots paid the fee and two of them paid $40 instead of $20. Information about the garden and plot availability was disseminated through posters in area schools, convenience stores and Laundromats, postings on Front Porch Forum and door-to-door outreach on the streets adjacent to the garden. There were more applicants than space, so some people were asked if they would be willing to share plots and others were put on a waiting list. There was some turnover once the spots were assigned. One person found a larger garden site elsewhere and another decided she was not ready to take on the responsibility of a garden. Two people from the waiting list happily took on those plots. Over the course of the summer, one gardener moved away and a neighbor took over her plot. Infrastructure improvements: Thanks to grant funding, the Archibald Neighborhood Garden was able to make the following site improvements: •

Water System (Funding from Vermont Community Garden Network) The rain water collection system consists of an 150-gallon, dual-barrel assembly on a raised platform and fed by gutters mounted on a neighbor’s shed roof. The two 75-gallon barrels are linked so they can be filled in tandem. They are made from UV stable 25 percent recycled polyethylene and have removable debris screens, four-foot hoses with on/off valves and overflow hoses. The free-standing platform was constructed with recycled materials. Most of the wood is rotresistant cedar and the base is concrete blocks. The system was designed and installed by two dedicated volunteers, Sean Melinn and Paul Schwartzkopf. Sean designed the collection system and Paul designed the platform. The two worked together to build the platform and install the barrels and connectors. The gutters are attached to the roof of a garage owned by neighbor Ron Sourdiff. As a thank you for the use of his roof, garden volunteers repainted the graffiti-laden side of the garage. The backup watering system consists of two hoses (one 75-foot and one 100-foot) and a hose reel. It is attached to the municipal water supply at Dot’s market, which is adjacent to the garden. Although we had made arrangements to pay

Archibald Neighborhood Garden 2008 Report

owner Lori Francour for the water used throughout the growing season, she declined payment out of support for the garden. This water system has made a significant contribution to the garden and the gardeners. The rudimentary single-barrel rain water collection system put in place in 2007proved inadequate for the needs of the garden. When the barrel ran dry, gardeners resorted to hauling water from their homes. We were also fortunate to have a neighbor who stretched a hose across the street to the garden to water during the driest periods. Neither of these were sustainable practices and with the garden’s expansion, there was great need to create an infrastructure that would give all gardeners equal access to water. The VCGN mini-grant, we were able to create an onsite water system that meets the needs of the garden while employing environmentally sound practices. In doing so, we also strengthened the connections with the garden’s residential and commercial neighbors. •

Garden Shed (Funding from CDBG) The garden shed is a 3- by 4-foot structure made almost entirely of recycled materials by Recycle North Youth Build. It provides shared storage space for tools, seeds and other materials during the growing season and houses the hoses and garden signs during the winter. installing the shed was a group effort. Six gardeners and volunteers worked together to move the heavy shed from the street to its spot at the back of the garden.

•

Garden Sign (Funding from New England Grassroots Environment Fund) Mark Krawczyk of Riven WoodCrafts hand-built a frame for the garden sign from recycled black locust. The sign itself will be installed in the spring. It will have a place on the front for garden and community notices and a blackboard on the back for gardeners.

Archibald Neighborhood Garden 2008 Report

Community partnerships The Archibald Neighborhood Garden has strong relationships with many community organizations and businesses: •

The Visiting Nurse Association of Chittenden & Grand Isle Counties, which owns the garden site, has leased it for $1 per year for the past two seasons. Each year, the $1 has been returned to the garden as a donation.

•

Intervale Compost Products donated all the raised bed mix for the initial beds in 2007 and for the beds installed in 2008. ICP’s support has been critical to the garden’s creation and expansion. The soil at the site is contaminated with lead and other heavy metals, making in-ground gardening unwise. The cost of purchasing the raised bed mix for the garden site would have been $900-$1,200.

•

Friends of Burlington Gardens, which has provided encouragement and advice to the Archibald Neighborhood Garden since its inception, donated the proceeds from its annual plant sale to help pay for the garden expansion project. In 2009, Grow Team ONE will coordinate the plant sale.

•

In 2008, the Burlington Department of Parks & Recreation sponsorship of the garden provided it with liability insurance. The department also served as an intermediary for the lease with the Visiting Nurse Association. This invaluable relationship allowed for the expansion of the garden and its offerings to the community. We are currently negotiating a three-year lease for the site. The Parks & Recreation Commission has approved a three-year continuation of this arrangement. (Approval is pending from the Burlington City Council.)

•

The Archibald Neighborhood Garden is a member of the Intervale Center Community Connections project, which seeks to improve connections between Burlington’s Old North End and the Intervale. Information about the garden was part of a food access display at the Old North End Farmers Market.

•

A University of Vermont Plant & Soil Sciences class used the garden for a service-learning project. Students performed intensive soil testing and developed a remediation plan for the site.

•

The garden is a City Market member work site. Member workers can earn discounts on their purchases at the local grocery store by working at the garden. From April through November, City Market member workers logged 160 hours through building and planting projects, garden maintenance, facilitating workshops, coordination and outreach. City Market also partners with the garden for healthy cooking workshops.

•

Additionally, we are coordinating with a fifth-grade teacher at H.O. Wheeler School to create a curriculum-based connection between the class and the garden.

Archibald Neighborhood Garden 2008 Report

Events •

Workshops: Garden mentors and community partners held five gardening and cooking workshops during the summer and a series of yoga and tai chi/ qigong classes. The workshops were free and open to gardeners and community members.

•

Garden Party: A public party was held July 26 during the Old North End Ramble, a celebration of arts and community. The event drew about 100 people and included a free barbecue, children’s activities, live music and garden tours.

•

Chard Cook-off: A chard cook-off and contest was held July 29. Gardeners were invited to bring their favorite chard dish to share and the person with the winning recipe received a prize.

Clockwise from top left: Caroline Homan of City Market leads a cooking workshop; Brett Hughes entertains gardeners and community members during the Garden Party; and the garden had an abundance of chard thanks to a donation of starts from Pitchfork Farm.

Old North End gardeners raise beds By Joel Banner Baird Free Press Staff Writer April 28, 2008 The 25 volunteers who gathered Friday morning would not mow the grass at the near-empty lot at Archibald and Walnut streets. Nor, despite their designs for a garden, would they till it under. Lab tests indicated that the soil, having for years endured the droppings of a gas station and car lot, might transfer its legacy of heavy metals and solvents into vegetable crops. The test results didn't prevent Ashley Lidman from rescuing two tulip bulbs from rubble along the fence line. With luck, she said, they'll take root in a flower bed along the garden's southern edge, which she helped colonize last year. Lidman, a North End resident, a University of Vermont graduate student and part of the Archibald Neighborhood Garden steering committee, said she learned to garden last year in her small front yard on North Winooski Avenue. "I have a perennial interest in growing food in an urban setting," Lidman said. "This place isn't officially part of my studies, but it all connects. It takes a lot of people." Lidman studies urban ecology and urban forestry at the university's Natural Resources Department. She defined her role in the garden as "a go-between" for Grow Team ONE, a grassroots community group (the "one" stands for "Old North End") and her peers in the academic world. Friday, volunteers arranged black rectangles of landscape cloth into the outlines of 15 raised beds. But the garden's real groundwork began more than a year ago, when Grow Team ONE pitched its plan to neighbors, the University of Vermont, businesses and nonprofits, the city of Burlington, and regional utilities. North-ender Jessica Hyman, a graduate research assistant at UVM's Center for Rural Studies and a master's candidate in Community Development and Applied Economics, played a pivotal role. She didn't lobby on her own behalf; she's has a vegetable garden in her spacious backyard. Hyman said she was moved to act by what she saw as a common need and a unique opportunity. Last year, two modest-sized plots thrived at the site, and the empty lot's owners, the Visiting Nurse Association of Chittenden and Grand Isle Counties, agreed to a $1 year's lease. "They returned the dollar, as a donation," Hyman said. Other donations, cash and in-kind, will tide the garden through its early stages -- although Hyman and other members of Grow Team ONE paid for the hemlock lumber that frames the beds, and they still need help with a better watering system. "Last year we had friendly neighbors running hoses across the street a couple of times," she said. "We've had bucket brigades." Another collaboration formed when UVM professor Don Ross steered his students in a soil and water pollution and http://www.burlingtonfreepress.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?Date=20080428&Category=NEWS02&ArtNo=804280308&SectionCat=&Template=printart

remediation class to Archibald Street. Samir Doshi, a graduate assistant in the class, oversaw the soil testing. "We found higher levels of lead, cadmium, copper and zinc in isolated locations (although levels of contaminants underneath the current raised beds are negligible)," he wrote in an e-mail. Doshi said the class is winding up an investigation into strategies that will, over time, lower concentrations of toxic metals in the garden's native soil. Among them: using plants such as Indian mustard and sunflowers to extract and dilute problematic molecules, a process called phytoremediation. "The rewards of service learning are that we are able to directly apply the knowledge we are learning in our class through service to the community," Doshi wrote, "and also able to diversify our learning through experience." Wayne Gross, director of Burlington's Department of Parks and Recreation, said "mushrooming demand" was spurring neighborhoods to seek out garden space. At Archibald, his department would help with insurance needs and other logistics. Community gardens, he said, thrive when the grassroots organization remained intact to oversee the details "We see much more local buy-in that way," he said. The lack of available garden space in Burlington shapes the city's horticultural policies. By May 1, Gross estimates that more than 400 plots will be registered. This year's waiting list has set a record. Friday, the whine of a chop-saw signaled the framing of rot-resistant hemlock boards in the North End. Hyman, who is skilled with power tools, as well as community organizing, took a short break. "About 30 people are registered for plots, and there's a waiting list," she said. "We're trying to see if we can squeeze in one more raised bed." Contact Joel Banner Baird at 660-1843 or joelbaird@bfp.burlingtonfreepress.com.

Many Old North End residents don’t have access to safe garden space at their homes or the ability to travel to community garden sites located outside the neighborhood. Most of the gardeners for the 2008 growing season live within five blocks of the site. They range from young families to recent immigrants to college students, many of whom are beginning gardeners. The Archibald Neighborhood Garden provides raised-bed plots, shared supplies and community workshops. Bi-weekly group gardening times help build community and connect beginning gardeners with a team of on- and off-site mentors.
