Thank you very much for the suggestions Shannon. I don't think I clarified that this is not a community garden with individual plots but one big garden with volunteers who come from the master gardener program, a couple people from the church and community service workers as we can get them. Also, one of our volunteers belongs to a program (Art of Living) and he's going to try to get a group of them to come for planting day on the 4th. None of the people involved can or are willing to take a leadership roll. The main person from the church who works with me on organizing the garden is also of retirement age and she and her husband plan on travelling after retirement. I'm so afraid of leaving this garden without an energetic, passionate leader. That person can develop it to the point where it would be possible to have a board but that isn't possible right now. I'm really the most knowledgeable person involved right now (and I say that knowing that there are many out there with as much and more knowledge than I have). Pontiac is a difficult place to get anything going and I would hate for this to fail for lack of leadership.
