Rick I look forward to attending the meeting. I am surprised you have already set up some ideas about the Community Garden such as having members "provide fresh produce, herbs, and flowers to Villagers that are willing to help with production." It sounds like we are moving away from what, I believe, was a Community Garden set up where each person had an individual plot where they could grow their own produce for their personal consumption. Maybe some other gardeners can chime in here, especially the original OP. You appear to making some decisions on the Community Garden mission and set up before we have even had our first meeting. I hope we are all going to have a say in what kind of Community Garden we are going to set up.
