Anyone know of any other upcoming gardening events around Central Iowa?
You hit the nail on the head Kyla. When I travel between WDSM and DSM I am amaized at how much waisted land there is. All that boring grass that could be turned into gardens and I am not just talking about the cities wasted land. The big corporation…
You freakin rock! Thank you so much for telling us about this and for all your enthusiasm!
Perry is having a "Garden Walk" on May 1st from 10-4. Attend various businesses and walk away with seed packets and plants. Rumor has it you'll walk away with 20 items!! Day of tickets are $5, in advance they are 1 for $4 or 2 for $6. I am hopin…
The great thing about all of this is that people want to garden! And we are finding ways to do it as small communities. It seems to add to our resiliency as a community when we are able to negotiate thru the questions part to the solutions. I am jus…
I am thankful for the friends I have made and the friends I will meet.
I am very thankful to have a piece of land for Sydney to run around, grow, and learn from.
I am thankful for the opportunity to learn new things about gardening.
I am thankful fo…
Hi Peter,
"We should look to the city and ask the ? what are you the city and Mayor doing to rectify the fact that the city has all this unused land, that could be used to help those in need of food, and those who want to garden."
I completely agr…
I think it sounds fabulous! Do it! :)
One note, I do like where the water tank was last year. I felt the water tank being under the tree helped keep the water cool, but still gave easy access to the city in filling it up.
Thank-you for your kind words, Dawn. I think you will find the community garden community as a whole is very caring and passionate. Yes we may get political at times, but that is usually true of any group that is passionate about something they care…
Randy, I think the corn patch area would be a fabulous & easy way to expand plots.
I agree that the city looking at more community garden options is much needed (and it sounds like they are.) With the resurgence of gardening more land will need to b…
I agree, cherries would be wonderful!
If I run across any good deals on berry bushes, I'm assuming that would be appreciated, as well?
To respond to some of the ? and problems brought up. We still do not have an answere to the ? of how many plots are available this year. We wont know that untill everyone who wants to sign up again this year does so. Once we know that then we can fi…
Thanks Dawn!
These comments are a welcome alternative to some of the badgering and bullying that some people use to try and get their way.
You will be a great community garden coordinator!
I want to recognize Sandy for being an integral link in our garden community. I'm inspired. I get inspired when people say, " ... to share gardening ideas and ways to strengthen the community gardens as a whole." I've read this sentence more than a…
I personaly think that one person should not have three to four plots.

- Donna, the class is at Mars Cafe once a month. Contact Mary LaMair @ mrsll007@yahoo.com. I think Sydney is one of the youngest in the class, as its geared towards toddlers & preschoolers. She had a great time and we always enjoy having her engage with similar aged kids.

- Hi Sandy, I have a Toddler and I have looked for an art class to attend with him. I think he is too young for the art classes offered by the Art Center. I was wondering if you would tell me where you found an art class to attend with your toddler?
Thank you,
Donna
