Hello,
I am very much happy and impressed about the effort that you have taken such keen and nice initiatives. Keep it up because the world need more people like you. The gardening is very much important to fight with dangerous gases that are spoiling ozone layer. Every house should have a home garden to eliminate pollution.

Cec, I’m very impressed and inspired your work and its mission- makes me remember community service day with ISLES in Trenton. You should get in touch with Colin’s Dad to figure out more ways to partner and best practices etc. Keep me posted on the updates!

I checked out the Grid Philly magazine, which was awesome! Thanks so much for that link. Do you know how often it is published? Once a month? Also, I applied to work for Skip Wiener at the Urban Tree Connection, but there were no jobs available

Anyway, I felt that the article was inspiring. I liked how they talked about gardening as important avenue for community organization and cohesion. And that is what is so wonderful about gardening: you educate youth about the environment and nutrition, you produce healthy produce, and you foster community engagement and cohesion. Thanks for doing this blog it’s awesome!
