Mpls, MN. gardener gives case in point regarding starting all messages with
your location....

Is the Clinton Ave garden the one in Mpls?  If so, I want to come help with
the cleanup and get some of them there bulbs being offered.  I'm on my bike,
though, so if you are in another state, I'll have to leave before dawn, and
I want to prepare.  I have to let my boss know I won't be back for a couple
days.  Maybe weeks.  Months, maybe.  That might be good for me.  Ride to the
Clinton Ave. Garden, which I thought was ten blocks or so away, and find it
takes months to get there. I need the break and the exercise.  My boss might
appreciate it, too. Finally, he can get rid of me.

Love Life, Earth, Neighbor

>> 
>> This is Adam Honigman speaking  as an individual community gardener.
>> 
>> I must say that I am delighted that the NYC Community Gardening fraternity
>> has finally been informed by Ms. Stone, Director of Green Thumb,  about our
>> new 
>> insurance status.
>> 
>> However, the period between when Ms. Stone knew about NOSC's discontinuation
>> of our insurance,  in July/August of this year, and mid-October, when she
>> finally decided to let us all know, albeit with some prodding from concerned
>> and 
>> vocal community gardeners, is extremely troubling.
>> 
>> Again, this observation is by me, as an individual community gardener.
>> 
>> NYC's community gardeners are  out there, keeping our community gardens
>> clean, safe and welcoming, shovelling snow, hauling garbage, running events,
>> doing 
>> alot of stuff that makes our gardens and Green Thumb look good.
>> 
>> The very least I would like, as an individual gardner would like is for the
>> Green Thumb, the community gardening organization that I'm involved with to,
>> pretty please, disseminate   information on a key issue like insurance to its
>> gardeners, in a timely matter.
>> 
>> I don't like hearing about an adult matter like public space liability
>> insurance the way teenagers used to learn about sex - via the grapevine.
>> 
>> To not have received timely information on our community garden liability
>> insurance seems, on the face of it, to be awfully negligent on the part of
>> Greenthumb.   Of course, I'm speaking as an individual here. Others may be
>> less 
>> concerned....
>> 
>> As an individual, I like making Green Thumb look good - they gave me a plaque
>> and all, (see,  http://www.clintoncommunitygarden.org ) and I am a longtime
>> supporter of NYC Parks Gardens because I believe that under Parks our gardens
>> will always be accessible to the communities we serve - not private garden
>> clubs functioning under the community garden label.
>> 
>> However,  timely communication on key safety information, like liability
>> insurance coverage, is essential.
>> 
>> As an individual, I got more timely events information from Lily's Bar, in
>> Red Hook, Brooklyn, ( an establishment that Ms. Stone has or had an ownership
>> interest ) than I do, or the Green Thumb  garden that I'm associated with
>> got,
>> on its liability insurance.
>> 
>> A matter of priorities, methinks.
>> 
>> Again, speaking as an individual gardener, it seems that  community gardening
>> organizations, like Gateway Greening in St, Louis,  or Seattle's P-Patch,
>> have managed to do a better job, especially in organizing and keeping
>> gardeners 
>> informed of issues essential to them, than we have managed to do here in NYC.
>> And Gateway Greening and Seattle P-Patch  Publications manage to reach me,
>> via
>> snail mail, faster and in a more timely fashion than those from Green Thumb.
>> 
>> I know that we involved in community gardening in NYC can do better - and
>> perhaps in the future, will.
>> I know that Ms. Stone and NYC Parks Green Thumb  has worked very hard for
>> NYC's community gardens and gardeners - this gardener, again, speaking as an
>> individual,  just  believes that this city's gardeners deserve a bit more
>> transparency in governance and communication, from a community gardening
>> organization 
>> funded by our federal tax dollars, via federal block grants, please.
