[Grovenet] spring and COMMUNITY GARDEN

[Walt Wentz]

  Hi Martha;
Indeed, Spring is sproinging soon.
And significantly, last night at a	 group meeting, the idea of a  
Community Garden was brought up.
The city has two plots of sunny, fertile land... one of 1-1/2 acres,  
which was used until recently to grow food for the county jail, and  
one large residential plot, which basically would need cultivating to  
get it ready.
The city is willing to provide FREE water service to both!
If we (the public) can get some sort of organization together to  
arrange plowing, assign family plots, etc., we can actually learn  
from gardening experts, do something about the recession and our food  
budgets, and also produce some extra for the Food Bank and other  
worthy causes.
Not to mention the fun and socializing of working outdoors a few  
hours a week with gardening kinspirits.
Anybody interested, please e-mail or phone me... 357-4577.
