Franklin Community Gardens

Hi gang,
my friends at the Franklin st Community gardens are looking for a way to connect and chat with each other online. They don't have anyone as talented as Drew, so they feel disconnected from their gardening community.
Any chance we could open up this forum to include them? We all face similar problems, pests and thievery namely.
Just a thought, I'm acting as an emissary, they'll understand if it's not something y'all want.

-Jennie

Thanks very much for asking Jennie !

Also, earlier this summer I had sent an email to the group asking if they would come join us at a few of our weekly picnic's etc. Please let them know that we will look forward to meeting more of our "cousins" next summer and through the years :); ▶ Reply to This

You are awesome btw! I appreciate the help.

It seems there are a couple of us that have plots in both gardens, I'll definitely spread the word about getting the groups together. Maybe this winter we could get a conference room at a library and do a seed swap. :-); ▶ Reply to This
