Giants

You know the quote, or if you're like me, you had something about it floating in your head somewhere: "If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants." -- Sir Isaac Newton. That's what came to mind when I started to do my short blog (no time!) today about Friday's meeting. Marcia Vandermause and Brian Kramer, founders of the Church Hill Senior Center Garden and co-authors of From Dirt to Dinner: The Art and Science of Producing a Garden, came to see and advise.

Their book is fantastic for anyone seeking to start a community, or communal, garden -- to have them so close and willing to come talk to us was helpful, to put it lightly.

After a short Harvest of Hope garden tour, they joined us at First Presbyterian to share some of their stories, successes and speedbumps, and to let us share ours and ask them questions. Good stuff. Many thanks to Marcia and Brian for their time and wisdom. I'll share some highlights in days to come.

Happy day!
