I've been planning for a few weeks to share with you a community garden my sister and brother-in-law told me about in D.C. I think this is it: Common Good City Farm. They (sis and bro-in-law) took a training session to become volunteers there. I haven't spent a lot of time clicking around the website, but when I saw them a couple of weeks ago my brother-in-law said that this group has the garden and what it provides, but also has a catering company staffed by people who use the garden. Wouldn't that be cool if we could do it in Kingsport?
That makes me think of a program that used to exist near my hometown -- kids in the special education program made cinnamon rolls that they sold every Sunday to raise money to support their extracurricular activities.
I know Kingsport has a lot of great stuff going on -- more than I know about since I've so often got my head in the parenting sand. But new ideas are fun to toss around, eh?
How about this place: Pie Lab? I forget where I read about it, but go check it out. Wouldn't something like this be lovely in Kingsport?
Send me your ideas -- neat things you've read about -- stuff we can mull over. I'm always looking for things to share here. If I get enough people responding, I might offer a prize next time. Bring it on!
Your picture, by the way -- this is Mr. Phil, who spoke to our garden group one rainy Monday night a month or two ago -- he was at The Exchange Place garden last weekend during the Fall Festival there. Here he's helping my two favorite boys dig up some baby carrots to take home.
Happy day!
