Thanks so much to all who responded with suggestions for topics. I should say that our community garden is an established organic only garden (est 2000) but recently came under new management about three years ago, though with the same goals. One thing we are trying to focus on is providing workshops/gardening information to our plot holders. Our turn over in the garden is fairly high since Moscow is a university town (ie students) and so far theft has been limited to a few early season zucchinis. Knock on wood. I'll post a recap of the topics for everyone's benefit. I certainly found them very helpful and will use them to modify what we present. Again, thanks for all the input!
