Whew!!! It's been a stormy couple of weeks here in Omaha! We are slowly drying out--- with more rain in the forecast.
The Big Garden is an initiative of United Methodist Ministries, which has direct ties to the United Methodist Churches in Nebraska. Part of the added benefit the relationships is the opportunity to work with junior high and high school youth not from urban Omaha. Last week we had a group from the middle of the state come to Omaha. Part of their experience was building a path for the residence at JC Wade for the garden (slippery muddy path+ older adults= disaster). They did such a great job on the path! What's more, they feel that starting a community garden in their 300 people town would be a great way to create a sense of community and get vegetables in the summer. YEA!!!!! We love to spread gardens!!!!!!!
This is so great to hear about how excited others get about spreading gardening to others. I really do like the idea of having groups come and visit to work on the garden with you. Doing this really will help share the joy of gardening with others, and it sounds like during your last groups visit thats just what you did! I understand you issues with the rain, I am in Wisconsin and it's been storming for like a week! Which has done very much good for the people or the plants:(
