My first thought is to collect rainwater or fill large containers that can be brought to the garden.
50 gallon plastic barrel will catch a lot of rain. you can add a tap to the barrel to connect a hose. cover the top of the barrel a tight screen material.
Totally agree with Ann. Make sure you don't leave the water sit too long as it is a breeding ground for mosquitos. They make things called mosquito dunks you put in the water to prevent them from hatching. Have everyone bring gallon milk jugs filled with water each week. A lot more work but... it works. Large plastic containers used for storage will hold water. Have a schedule for those to bring water say two days a week for each person.
Hi Gloria. You can either fill jugs up with water and take it to the gardens, or get a rain barrel. My grandmother had a community garden and she took jugs of water.
