What are your personal strengths and interests, what are you bringing to the project?
Dig down and discover your own reasons for wanting to do this, what you think you can handle and what you hope to gain and give to your community. How much of a commitment can you make to the project? If you've been involved with a garden before, how much time/what kind of support did it require from you? Community gardens can be a lot of work, and it's good to go in with your eyes open.
