For old times sake

Remembering the old garden - Here's Ray with some cucumbers, and me in a hat that's long since gone to the compost pile, back in 2003. Our new main building and kitchen sits right on top of where our first garden used to be. But it turned out OK (urban community gardeners are used to this kind of thing). Thanks to Kathy Izard and her band of garden angels, the Center included generous space for an expanded community garden in the new landscape, and even brought the garden coordinator onto the staff. The lesson is that you have to try to see adversity as opportunity, and hope that's the way things turn out! We still fondly remember the old garden, which was a very special place. We've still got the bottle tree, too.
