...and use this website to look for gardening partners in your town or neighborhood. Also enter your own name on those pages. (See the left-hand panel for details).  We also provide hints for developing successful gardening partnerships,

and give you some tips on actually starting your garden, 
and hope that your garden will be productive on all levels!
