Hello! Just back from vacation and reporting that we also received a lovely grant check from Tom's of Maine for our Elk Grove Community Garden project here in the southern 'burbs of Sacramento, CA.
Quick update: In 5 years we have raised $15K for fencing our goofy-shaped property, changed sponsoring entities on our project a couple times, bought the _#$&[EMAIL PROTECTED] (mailto:#$&[EMAIL PROTECTED]) fence, got a lease signed, then the rains came! So, now, we're building in April 05. Mud permitting! Will follow this report up with more details of a city run garden. Right now our city is busy usurping our parks department, it's a rather messy and ugly political affair. I desperately hope to not be caught in the middle. We just wanna play in the dirt.
