Welcome to the 360 Pronoia Community Garden

What is it?

As a part of our contribution and support of the community we have provided a space for planting, harvesting, learning, connection and rest! We provided this space with hope and anticipation that the community uses it as a beautiful, shared resource!

Electro-Culture

The garden provides a haven for relaxation and rejuvenation. We’re using electro-culture to create a harmonious environment for the plants — and you can take advantage of this too, just by being in the garden! Take moments to appreciate the peace around you, soak up the tranquility, and unwind — take advantage of our seating!

Take a look at our FAQs and guidelines to learn important standards about The 360 Pronoia Community Garden.

  • Everyone is open to take what they need, we just ask that you log what it was in our garden book! This way we can keep track of how much the garden is producing and what people are most interested in.

  • Treat our garden as a sanctuary for plants and wildlife. Refrain from picking flowers, disturbing nests, or harming any living organisms. Let's preserve the natural beauty for everyone's enjoyment. In addition, certain plants and flowers are strategically placed to assist in vegetable growth and health.

  • This garden is a shared space, so please respect your fellow gardeners. Allow others to enjoy their plots in peace. Always be courteous and considerate.

  • Help us maintain a clean and tidy environment by disposing of trash in designated bins. Keep pathways clear of obstacles, and if you notice any litter, please lend a helping hand by picking it up.

  • Embrace eco-friendly gardening methods. Use organic fertilizers, conserve water, and consider composting your kitchen scraps. Let's cultivate a garden that nourishes both the body and the environment.

  • Ensure your own safety and the safety of others. Be cautious when using garden tools and store them appropriately after use. Children should be supervised at all times to prevent accidents.

  • Joining the garden club is free. Our garden is a place for community collaboration. Feel free to exchange tips, seeds, or surplus produce with fellow gardeners. Let's foster a spirit of generosity and cooperation.

  • Take advantage of the garden as a learning space. Attend workshops, share your expertise, and engage in conversations about sustainable gardening practices. Let's grow our knowledge collectively.

  • If you are interested in having a personal designated plot, all you need to do is reach out! Once you have a plot, please tend to it regularly and keep it weed-free. Remember to water your plants responsibly and harvest them when ready. Let's create a lush and productive garden together.

Composting!

Ft. Finger Lakes Composting

Approximately 40% of the food produced in the United States goes uneaten. Meanwhile an estimated 2.8 million New Yorkers are food insecure. Simultaneously, excess edible food and food scraps see the end of their life at a landfill, where their decomposition produces methane, a potent greenhouse gas. NYS has taken a stand to make the most of our food by mandating large generators of food scraps to redirect wholesome edible food to those in need and food scraps to organics recycling facilities where they will be recycled into a product beneficial to our environment.

We have partnered with Finger Lakes Composting to make COMMUNITY COMPOSTING available to you through us! As long as you comply with the guidelines below you are free to use our composting bin (The purple bin located in the garden). Finger Lakes Composting will then graciously pick up this compostable material and repurpose it into rich soil!
