Just back in town.
I have a deep interest in community gardens and sustainable living. As a former staff member of GRuB-Garden Raised Urban Bounty and Olympia Food Co-op.
Ran into Rose and Andy at Manitou Community Center.
Chatted about the community garden there at MCC. Looking forward to the saturday conference.
Worked briefly with Andy on fencing and compost bins for garden today it was great.
Looking to start a gleaners coalition here.
Great beginnings.
