Garden Manager Joan Embree poses questions for our consideration, to think about before and in preparation for our upcoming planning meeting, and invites Community Garden Members to call or email her with ideas for the agenda...
Our meeting at 10 a.m. on April 23 at the garden will be a good time to talk about what we'd like to aim for with the development of the community garden. Addie, in particular, would like to have a clearer picture of what our garden plans are. If everyone would come prepared to talk about our options and what we hope for with the community garden, that would make for a good advance.
- Do we want to apply for other grants?
- Do we see the garden growing beyond the picket fences of the Mojave Rose?
- What are the aims of the gardeners, if any, beyond shared gardening tasks and crops?
- In 5 years, what do we want the community garden and the gardeners to look like?
- If we want to expand participation and aim for new programs, how do we do that?
Dan and I will be getting into Mountainair Friday if all goes well. Send me an e-mail or call me at 847-2539 with ideas to put on the agenda. I'm looking forward to seeing you again and getting to work on this year's garden.
FYI, I plan to answer these questions publicly right here online and invite not just active Community Garden supporters but any interested reader to do the same. I tender advance apologies for any flipness (by no means inadvertent) on my part that the more serious may take as unwarranted.
