“All work is as seed sown; it grows and spreads, and sows itself anew.” -Thomas Carlyle
This June, team YardLover will be participating in a 2-day cycling event to raise money for the National Multiple Sclerosis society. Our team is 8 strong, and growing, and we have pledged to raise $2000. We will ride 2 days, and choose 25, 50, 75, or 100 mile rides each day. We’ll keep you posted on our progress, and how it all turns out.
What does this have to do with gardening? Nothing. It has to do with community. Each one of us is part of a community, whether it is our neighborhood, our job, our church, our family, or a worthy cause. And all the ways we participate in our communities make the world a better place.
- Giving your money helps.
- Donating food helps.
- Making your garden beautiful helps.
- Teaching a skill helps.
- Sharing your knowledge and experience helps.
Looking at that list, there are a lot of ways for gardeners to contribute to our communities aren’t there? Gardeners mentor each other, share knowledge, tips, tools, and plants all the time. These are community building activities, and make your little corner of the world a better place. So keep up the good work, and from my little corner of the world-THANK YOU
