  Of course those who have the natural 'green thumb' will be able to take to it more naturally but one and all can surely benefit from the garden resources, gardening tips and information on gardening equipment available on the internet. Adding interest to your garden with a garden pond or water garden is a great idea, and one of the first things you should look at is a top-notch water garden filter system that can do the hard work for you. Highly chlorinated water kills the microorganisms that are found it in the soil.
  
  Due to the literal growth of the gardens every dollar invested in community gardening has enormous economic returns. Local community garden example The City of Salem Massachusetts has given use of land behind baseball fields at Mack Park and Palmer Cove. These areas both had a water source for the baseball fields which is now also used for the gardens. Each of these gardens has "Captains" who monitor the activity, collect the yearly 15, from each gardener, mostly for water costs. These gardens are divided into approximately 25, relatively small 100 square foot gardens. There is usually a waiting list of about 15 people to get a plot to grow their vegetables. The city has informed us an additional community garden will be started in 2010. The hardest work is in the spring when you may have to break through the ground covering grass and weeds, mix manure and or peat moss and other amendments into the soil, make your soil mounds, put down landscape fabric and plant and water your seeds or seedlings. Opportunities for socialization People who would not ordinarily meet have garden plots next to each other.
  
  Commercial Grants Project Orange Thumb has provided over 100 community groups with over 200,000 to create and develop their own special community gardens. These included projects geared toward community involvement, neighborhood beautification, sustainable agriculture andor horticultural education (Fiskars). Mantis sponsors this award program in support of charitable and educational garden programs that enhance the quality of life in their host communities. We welcome applications from all nonprofits past winners include community gardens, schools, ministries, colleges, master gardening groups, and hospices (Mantis). Government Grants EPA Community Projects Grant "Community Projects" address environmental stewardship in a local context and use community-based stewardship activities as the primary teaching tool (Environmental Protection Agency). Community CROPS was recently awarded a 98k grant from the USDA Farmers' Market Promotion Program to expand our Growing Farmers Program, which provides training to beginning and limited-resource farmers to sell directly to consumers. Besides providing funds for the actual training, the grant will help us determine the needs of the community for farm training, as well as to advertise the training (Community Crops). The receipt of any of these grants makes the highly leveraged benefits of community gardens extraordinarily compelling. Land is simultaneously being used for a variety of socially positive purposes any one of which would justify the expense of time, labor, and resources.
  
  Garden Statues and Ornaments - With a long historical background, statues have stood the test of time as a popular decor item. While classic statues may have been on a grand scale, and for public sites or stately homes and country mansions, they have found their own niche as garden decor in the modern and smaller garden. Garden statues come in many styles and designs, some of them following ancient and classical traditions, such as cherubs and angels. Other popular subjects include animals, such as domestic cats and dogs, and wild animals such as lions and frogs. Small statues, which some may call garden ornaments, can also be found for those of us with small gardens, and no scope for the great sculptures you may see in large country gardens. Garden Containers or Planters - An important feature of any garden, especially those with patios, terraces or little visible soil, can be the containers or planters used to house some of your plants.
