Good News- A Garden is Comming!

I went before the city council last week and they all gave their approval and support. They couldn't have been nicer. The same response from the Parks and Recreation Committee. The blog is going to serve as a working journal. Thanks for your input. Another friend from Pontiac, Judy Hainaut can be a wonderful resource. She has attended several national Community Garden conferences. She started the Peace and Grace garden in Pontiac. They were able to harvest and provide food for the church's Wednesday prayer meeeting dinners. The situation is like the Little Red Hen story- many want to partake in the feast and a few want to make a committment to help. Such is the volunteer arena. Our garden club has made a new committment to help with the weeding. You know the adage... Many hands .. Next in order for the garden is meeting with the city manager. I want to put together a time line and have some firmed up dimensions. Any input is welcome. Keep warm.
