It's so wonderful to see people appreciate what we're doing - getting out into the community, letting people know what we're doing, inviting them to participate with us and their friends and acquaintances- seeing smiles and new and more adventurous feelings in people who have tried us out and then joined us more often and finally become more active and communicating in ways they have not done so before ...
our next step is to really reach out not only to garden managers and the gardeners (via the managers) but to reach out to community organizations (churches, community centers, schools, senior housing, hospitals - ) - in the communities where we're having social events
it's a daunting task and we have to be patient (not easy for me) and trust that the continuing grass roots work will be more effective than one big activity precisely because people see, personalize and empathize with the concepts that we are supporting
every single one of us will deal with these issues in our lifetimes -
so come on out people
come on out artists
help create and enjoy community
connect with us and each other
it's a great feeling
and we can all make it pay off
