Ours is certainly not going to be one to remember but there's no reason why
we couldn't participate. - Jamie

Hey all!
This is great that Mark has created a list. Every day when I walk my dogs I
am absolutely amazed at the number of people in our neighborhood who garden!
There are NINE gardens on my street that I can think of right now! There are
probably more that I'm not thinking of. There are different sizes, some are
in back yards, some in the front, they're at different stages of growth - I
love it!
I love it so much, that I think I should share the love! I had this idea a
while back, but especially since the tornado I think it'd be cool to have a
garden tour for our neighborhood so we can bond around gardening. There are
all types who garden and that is one thing that a lot of us have in common
(another thing is that we all eat!). It could be cool to get out and meet
more of each other and share our stories of gardening and how we do it.
We could have the tour at the end of the summer (maybe right before school
starts?) when the gardens are in full growth. It could be one day or a
weekend, we could have it just for our neighborhood or invite outsiders, we
could see if there's a way to involve Longview School since they have a
garden, there are many things we could do with it.
Is anyone else interested in this idea? We'd have to do a survey to see how
many gardeners would be willing to participate, but I have a feeling
there'll be a lot. If anyone is interested in making something like this
happen, please email me (gdeason(a)gmail.com) and let's start planning! It
doesn't have to be highly involved - or it can be! I just think it'd be fun
and would like help doing it.
Thanks!
