I'd LOVE to be more involved with our community, specifically our little neck of the woods, but work in the evenings. This has kept me from attending any of the civic association meetings, block watch things, etc. ... and I'm sure I'm not the only one.
One of the more social activities that I'm itching to get started is a garden club (just like in the snootier neighborhoods, lol!). Not necessarily a "Look at my house" club, but more of a "Hey, I have a few daffodil clumps that need thinned, would you like some bulbs?" Make sense? I assume that most of the home owners in Willis Park are in a similar financial situation as I am, and would TOTALLY benefit from plant sharing, growing food at home, and getting to know their neighbors.
If there is interest, a garden club can be started any time...and there doesn't have to be just one. There could be one that specializes in flowers & landscaping and a separate group that focuses on fruits & veggies. It's all good!
Anyone who does go to the meetings is welcome to share my contact info about creating a garden club. OR if there already IS one, please - someone tell me! Thanks!
