Community? You Can Grow That!
Garden Reports and Rejoicing – March 4th
The idea is this: on the fourth of each month, garden bloggers share four words with their readers: You Can Grow That! Followed by a few more words about some aspect of plants and gardening that people might consider cultivating. Today was the first Garden Bloggers You Can Grow That Day, and I’m pleased that so many have responded.
From garden clubs, horticultural societies and community gardens, plants bring people together. Pass-along plants, neighbors planting traffic islands or helping to care for another’s garden. Volunteers planting…in so many ways gardens cultivate community. In nurturing plants we nurture each other.
Here are some of the bloggers that posted today. If I’ve missed yours let me know and I’ll add it in over the next couple of days.
Garden Path Traveler (Posted on the GardenCenterWriter.com blog as well)
Garden Gates – Gardening and Landscape Design
Strawberry Fields For Breakfast
Just as community gardens bring people of all ages together, so too does our virtual garden unite us.
