I attended our neighborhood association meeting last night and heard a terrific presentation from a guy named Mark Powell who has started some community gardens in Roanoke. What a neat dude! I was so impressed with his attitude and committment to the cause that I volunteered my back yard for use as a community garden this year. The part that convinced me this was a Good Idea was the fact that all the gardens his organization plants are organic. Perfect!
I thought that having a community garden in my yard would be a wonderful life affirming thing. What better way to get my strength back from my cancer treatment? And make new friends to boot!
One of my neighbors is already talking to me about planting in my yard. Bring on the seeds!

That is so fantastic. I look forward to hearing about the garden and seeing pics! It may even be something I'll try to introduce to my neighborhood.
