ACT2 Community gardening...starting a project
So yesterday was the beginning of my ACT2. As I've stated eariler, I work at housing for previously homeless. Its now the time to start gardening for the season and the weather has been wonderful around 50 F. So yesterday I went to Work and asked the Case Manager of the site if we could have a garden. So today I rallied interest with the tenents and got my supervisors approval to plan and grow vegetables on site for the ladies. As I mentioned in previous posts my work relies on donations to feed the women and fresh veggies aren't always provided. So its fantastic that we can grow herbs and veggies to supplement their diet. I am very excited for them and they are excited to contribute.
I feel productive.
Unfortunately for privacy reasons I cannot post pictures of the site.

great to share gardening projects with ladies at your Work, who might not otherwise have been able to enjoy the freedom of growing something of their own. +1 spark

That's really exciting Crystal. How interesting that "playing a game" becomes "planting a garden that will feed the formerly homeless". +10 Courage. Keep us posted on what you're growing and how it goes.

Do tell us what happens with this project. I'm curious to see who ends up tending the community garden and how you share the produce.

Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More
public servants
The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
