Did you know that hidden away on Carmel Drive behind Holy Rosary, is a community co-op garden? Well, EarthShare Gardens is a community supported organic agriculture program in Acadiana that is supported by it's members, who receive a portion of the harvest throughout the year. Unfortunately there is a waiting list for memberships, but the EarthShare Garden folks do have a portion of land adjacent to theirs that is used for a Donation Garden for area food banks maintained by members and volunteers. In addition to the Donation Garden, they have space for individuals to have their own plot for their very own garden. The nice part about that is that there are experienced gardeners around to help with pointers and tips on how to create an organic produce garden.
