The Promise of Gardens
Diane Conners writes about how community, in the form of an experienced neighbor, transformed her early gardening efforts in Gardens Fed by Community. And now we have a chance to explore and foster that connection in northwest Michigan this Sunday afternoon. "The Promise of Gardens: How Gardens Build Community, Feed Us All and Reconnect Us to Nature," features award-winning author Eric Toensmeier. Attendees can hare ideas and resources during a visioning session, and connect with neighbors. A community gardens panel and group discussion will feature people who are starting or dreaming of garden projects in Benzie, Leelanau, Grand Traverse, Kalkaska, Antrim, Wexford and Missaukee counties. The event is free and runs from 12:30 to 4:30 at the Traverse Area District Library, 610 Woodmere, Traverse City.
