We have come up with a process for new projects at the garden. The goals of this process was to plan things out and get input from gardeners and the community. Here is a summary of how the process will work.
1. A garden member takes on a project and sketches a diagram and writes up a description of the plan.
2. The member discusses the plan with the site coordinators for input such as zoning and financial viability.
3. The agreed on project proposal is posted on the Oak Street Garden sign and website and feedback is collected from the community.
4. Depending on feedback the project is either revised or begins.
We are testing this design out with plans for the new composters and the shed porch area. Please visit these pages and give us feedback.

| Coordination of permanent crops: Part of our original plan was to have shared beds which contained plants which were more permanent such as raspberry bushes, asparagus, possibly even eventually fruit trees.
