The vision of the urban agriculture program at the HCSWCD is to sustain the urban agriculture movement within Hamilton County.
One way we do this is by offering free technical assistance by providing informational resources and free site visits to all gardeners within Hamilton County
The technical assistance offers consulting and guidance on topics like:
Starting a new backyard or community garden
Organizational planning
Balancing goals and expectations
Site planning and analysis
Container gardening
Soil testing and analysis
Nutrient and soil management
Weed and pest management
Materials support
And more…
What does it look like? A typical site visit includes examining the premises and the proposed garden site(s) along with questions to identify goals and objectives. Depending on the goals and objectives, a follow up ‘Garden and Conservation Plan’ will be offered along with possible additional site visits.
