Yesterday was a great day. I had Michael Nolan on the radio show and we chatted about community gardens in general, and the Riverside Garden that he is helping with in his own neighborhood. After the show, Michael was heading to the new community gardens in town in the Edgewood area. The gardens were part of Fiskars Project Orange and were put in within 8 hours!
I headed down to the garden for the ribbon cutting event and met some great people. Joe lamp’l who many know as Joe Gardener was there getting distinctly dirty which was great to see – some garden spokepeople are all talk but don’t get their nails dirty!
Kate Chura from the SEHort Society was also there, as were Farmer D, Fred Conran and Paul Tonneson (Pres. of Fiskars). It was great to see so many familiar faces all come together to help and support this neighborhood project. I also found some guests for the radio show while I was there and just might get the Mayor of Atlanta on the show – she is an avid gardener!!
