Tequesquite Community Garden
PLANNING FOR THE TEQUESQUITE COMMUNITY GARDEN BEGINS
The planning team for the Tequesquite Community Garden officially began to meet in November 2011.
The 1.12-acre garden will be part of the City of Riverside's Tequesquite Park, scheduled to begin development in January 2012.
The success of the garden will depend on the broad-based support of the community and the wider the community, the more likely it will succeed.

David commented on Wood Streets Green Team's group Tequesquite Community Garden"There is a national american community garden association which has some templates of fairly simple ruleshttp://communitygarden.org/learn/starting-a-community-garden.php
