Hi Jonathan - I hope to make it tomorrow, but it depends on my schedule. I was at the garden this a.m., and I noticed a white pick-up that pulled up and just sat there - seemed to me they were waiting for me to leave. They did not look familiar to…

Hey Kay, The plots are going to be 8 feet x 16 feet in size. On the north and south ends of the plot you will have a 4 foot pathway between your plot and the next and on the East and West sides there will be a 2 foot pathway.

Hey Kay,

In response to your comment on the Google Groups website, The garden is at E6th and Scott Avenue which is about 7 blocks South of the East Village. There are still plots available and we would be happy to have to come to the garden today. Because of all the rain, the city is a little behind schedule on preparing the site so a lot of the major construction of the plots will have to wait a little bit longer.
