I was e-mailing the NY Times article about volunteerism to people at work and noticed your comments there...which led me here!

It is inspirational. For that matter so is Richard Goodman's French Dirt, about his community garden in France...he used to moonlight for HWV.<br /><br />m.heart, well hopefully even the median will show you something when you come and visit :-)<br /><br />Gigi - it's a lot of fun, and a bit daunting. Now one has to consider plant thieves! I'm going to have to have a neighborhood watch.<br /><br />Thank you Dinah - <br /><br />Beence: hello :-). Hmmm, the Beence Garden? We'd have to grow beans.<br /><br />QC - I'm choosing plants for the median as we speak.<br /><br />Hi Pritha! - well, if we can get a key permanently, we can have a dreenk in the new park...<br /><br />Amarilla, no, we're hanging on to the median, I hope not foolishly. I'll know on Monday how many square feet the park is. Hard to guestimate because of its shape. Bigger than my terrace.

I live in an old industrial city in Massachusetts where we do a lot of guerilla gardening in empty lots, but you have taken it to a whole new level. Fantastic work!

Now I'm inspired, too. We held a meeting last night at our county government center to plan our first -- that's right, first -- community garden. (Mariposa County is small -- only about 19,000 people -- rural and very conservative.) We're still in the land acquisition stage, but at least we've generated interest. Our non-profit organization and one of our local land conservancies are partnering to get this project going. I hope can be successful, too.<br /><br />'Keli'i<br /><br />P.S.
