The Square Foot Garden Project will consist of creating and caring for a square foot garden located at the Denton Community Gardens, plus presenting and demonstrating square foot gardening basics to the community.

The Square Foot Garden project will teach through demonstration the intensive gardening technique championed and developed by Mel Bartholomew.  This method uses less space, water and labor than traditional gardening techniques.  The garden will be located at the Denton Community Gardens and members of the community will be invited to learn how they too can create their own square foot gardens.

Square Foot Gardens are easy, fool proof, and fun in addition to providing beauty to the landscape.  A typical Square Foot Garden grows the same amount of produce in 20% of the space of a traditional row garden.
