Administrative progress

We haven't posted here in a while, but we have been busy behind the scenes. We have had meetings with various City officials, and the journey toward getting approval for the garden project is continuing to progress.

We're getting closer!

Here's how you can help:

1. Garden Club. A garden club is being formed which will be the leadership for the garden project. The garden club could be made up of people who hope to get plots, and it could include people who are interested in supporting the project. The garden club initial duties will be to create the rules/guidelines for how plots will look and people will interact, they will form the legal organization that will make the garden possible with the City, they will design/run the system for getting plots, and they will probably be the ones to guide the "demonstration garden" part of the project.
2. City Liaison Team. This team is already hard at work, but they could use additional help. They're learning City requirements, attending meetings, making connections, drafting agreements, and easing the way for the garden to be installed.
3. Garden Installation. We will be gearing this team up in the near future. We have preliminary general designs, but we'll need to break these down into construction details and detailed budgets. Then we'll need to solicit donations -- "in kind" donations and "found materials" as well as money.
