Where is it? Google Map
Local neighborhood residents are facilitating the planning and building. If you want to get involved here are a couple of good dates:
Saturday, February 13th @ 1:30pm Clean-up day on the site to try and rake up glass, plastic, pick up dog poo, etc. We will also be mulching the corner of the yard, putting soil in a pile on the lot, and constructing a fence.
Saturday, February 20th @ 4:30pm Neighborhood cook-out (spicy black bean burgers!!!!) where we will be voting on different designs, taking suggestions for alterations of the design, and planning the first work day (where we will be building/painting boxes, putting in soil, planting the transplants, and celebrating our supremacy over other neighborhoods!).

I really want to get involved with the community garden, not sure if I can make the cook out but who can I contact to get involved? Is the garden going to produce food or is it purely cosmetic?

"Bogard & Rutledge Ave., Charleston, S.C.
Lowcountry Community Gardens: New downtown community garden sprouting. The corner lot of Rutledge and Bogard in downtown Charleston is on the way to becoming Charleston's newest community garden!
How about that, eh? I found a new garden and a new gardening blog. Too late for the neighborhood cookout but I'll check back and see what's growing in a few weeks. "
From the blog that just won a "Best of" award from the City Paper! Yay!
Black bean burgers are great and all but the locals eat meat, whether that jives with our philosophies or not. Perhaps this should be considered when we are planning community events.
