last year we stumbled upon this community garden in a nearby neighborhood. i wrote a little story on it last year but it deserves another shout out again this year. unlike many community gardens, which rent out plots for the community to plant, this one is planted and entirely maintained by the community. i decided to take a little walk through it this year and see what was going on. this year they have added a couple of plots for people to plant their own personal gardens, but it is mostly community space.
let me just say, this place is so amazing! the garden itself is so beautifully designed and immaculate, not a weed in sight! oh….what a few helping hands can do. check out what i saw…
what this ravine looked like covered in kudzu
looking down
beans…growing up!
compost piles
filled with rainwater…for watering
a museum of artifacts found while digging…. hand cuffs..marbles..plastic scissors..frying pan..records….
Like finding a trasure! All those artifacts on the bench, I want to touch them, hold them in my hands and just look at them. Makes me feel like a child again.
growing food and community. . . wonderful!
What a transformation and a beautiful spot, love the artifacts.
this reminds me a bit of my mema’s garden. what a great idea!
