Meeting

Wednesday, May 13, 2009, 6:30 p.m. - 7:45 p.m.

What had a great meeting this day. We met at the plot in order to lay down more of the soft tarp-like material onto planting areas to decrease weed regrowth. A very nice gentleman, Mike that lives in the neighborhood, came to introduce himself to us. When he very calmly told us he was a horticulturist with over 30 years of experience in gardening and gardening landscaping we were ecstatic to say the least!

It is so wonderful when we are at the plot working and people just walk up and introduce themselves with the intention of assisting us, and to tell us how great they think our endeavor is. Like I mentioned before, we learn much about the neighborhood and its workings and history from these very people. So, we talked to Mike for quite some time, and will most definitely be receiving more of his knowledge about design, gardening, landscaping, and whatever else we can learn! Then, Sandy, a very nice woman that lives in the neighborhood and interestingly enough, seems to always drive by when we are at the plot, stopped by to lend a helping hand and share her thoughts.
