Drew Matthew Maifeld replied to eileen's discussion 'mulch and compost'
When I stopped out on Thursday that was one very small load of mulch, I hope the city dropped off several more loads.  Did anyone notice if they did?

I'd also love to discuss adding some more community growing areas.  There has been some discussion about a berry patch and/or vine patch for melons and squashes.

We should probably spend some time cleaning/organizing the tool shed. It would also be good to get some kind of light it there.  I know the shed doesn't have power, but some kind of battery powered touch lamp, or at least a flashlight…

On the main page I think you should move the events section up closer to the top and probably on the right hand side.

Also, the slideshow of photos as the main thing on the front page is a really cool touch. I think it generates the idea of activity and excitement about this garden.

See if there is a way to add the Community Garden Logo somewhere at the top of the Main Page

I believe this site is about ready to share with other people. All the images really make it pop.

I had a few questions. I'm currently a part of the Franklin Community Garden. Will the Downtown be assigning plots? If so, is their an application process? Thanks so much!! This is so exciting!!

I like how you changed the default picture to the garden logo. It gives the site character and more of our own creation rather than whatever Ning sets up for everyone.

We should give the address as 6th and Scott Street since Allen Street is about gone now.

A 1 is missing from my email address, due no doubt to my horrible handwriting. The correct address is jpmcmahon1@msn.com

Thanks
