What are the raised gardens bounded by? Interesting stake and rope bales, but they dont look to be full of hay? I'm doing a report on the 1940s victory garden "movement" - we should never have given up the practice. Now people are distainful of gardening for themselves and community. cheers, Ted Sorry I missed this event, I had no idea and rarely go by the civic center.

Found you through Blotanical too. I lived in SF and surrounds for almost 30 years before moving down here 11 years ago. It is so cool to see the gardens at the plaza, wow! I went to school near there and in those days, it was just full of sleeping homeless people. I look forward to keeping up with your blog. Hi Phillip! Found you through Blotanical too.

I am back up on Blotanical and writing new posts! I will post these soon. Thank you for your comments! Your thoughts are beautifully expressed. One of the great things about Blotanical is that we get to meet wonderful people like you! What is so interesting to me is that this demonstration garden has created such excitement in the public. I can well imagine similar programs "taking root" in other cities and regions. Warm regards, Philip Hi Shauna!

I think your post is worth a mention to my local municipality which is always promoting its gardencentricity , if you don't mind, Philip. Hope you had a lovely birthday celebration.

Your posts on www.plantwhateverbringsyoujoy.com speak to this in your life affirming posts called: Return to Cleveland Community Garden and Seedfolks The Victory garden istallation day needed 200 volunteers. They had over 500! Talk about good things from the ground up! Something else that was wonderful. The waterfront road below my house was closed for a day and was packed with people on bikes. So many children having a great time on little scooters,too. I just goes to show that people are yearing to get together and join together in celebrating, healing and preserving our planet in many different ways like planting a victory garden, riding bikes instead of cars, and knitting scarves for the children in Pakistan such as in your recent post on www.plantwhateverbringsyoujoy.com Join Kathryn and others to make a difference with your two hands! :)Yay! Warm Regards, Philip Hi Kathryn,

Final Harvest is the 21st, so this will not be a permanant display, but it has received a huge interest from all kinds of people. Things are happening for the good! Mayor Newsome announced that the city now has a food policy.Victory Gardens will be all over the city now. The produce will be used in schools for children's lunches, seniors and other programs. Your wonderful blog http://greenwalks.wordpress.com has so many wonderful examples of things like this! Thanks so much Karen. You are just great. Very Best Regards, Philip Hi Karen,
