Greetings!
I hope y'all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! 
The holiday hubbub is upon us, but before you get too swept up in the madness please be sure to fill out the form over on the left so that I can record how much your garden grew. 
     We're in the "off season" now, but that doesn't mean there's nothing to do for your community garden! This is a great time of year to grow community support and prepare for a great season next spring. Gain some community organizing skills by attending the two-day Community Garden Mentor training this month. The training is free and becoming a Mentor will benefit your garden and your community-plus it's a ton of fun!
