Excellent. The questions of fencing was handled so beautifully.
Message to all. I see lots of people talking about community gardens for general hospitals to help with mental health. But what about having some community gardens for mental health hospitals. Mental health facilities patients could greatly benefit from having a garden at their facilities as well. And it would give them more fun and healthy extracurricular activities instead of just blank colorless walls, tv, music and books. If we are talking about creating community gardens to benefit mental health, then Mental health institutes should definitely be included in the quest for health and healing. They should not be abandoned. Plants for everyone, everywhere!! Anyone out there ready for this challenge?

This speech is deep and beautiful.
Very thought out. Thank you.
proud of you
Many underserved/unseen/underprivileged people are overworked and need multiple jobs to make ends meet, it's not they don't want to be involved, it's that they can't. There are so many opportunities out there, but the ones that can & should take the initiative, don't. Or when we call for support from the agencies built for these types of programs and our emails are left ignored. I am trying again to build a community through a garden in the hopes we can spread throughout our rural communities.
Can you add the links to her socials? 🙏

Not putting a fence around the garden was a bad idea. What if a rabbit decides to eat it all and tarnish the (figuratively and literally) fruits of their effort?
