After some exhaustive research I have chosen 23 fruits and vegetables that could provide a year-round garden in East Tennessee. I have also started looking into the amount of space required to contain a garden that could potentially feed 500 people by supplying them with all of their vegetable needs for one year. This number could go through trial and error and various planting methods, but for now, I have decided to allocate 15 acres of my available 39 acres to a community garden. I also plan on making use of shade trees by planting fruit trees and potentially some fruit vines and shrubs as well.
When starting to look at my program this still leaves room for all-purpose fields, a few basket-ball courts, a playground and a community center that could hopefully function on many levels as well. I also would like to look into water management and since the site will be housing a large garden I feel that a wetland buffer would be a good idea along the river. This could double as a quiet fishing pier.
