Last night we watched this amazing documentary about a community garden in Los Angeles, aptly named The Garden. Another movie that makes you stop, listen, think and hopefully stirs the pot enough to push you into a little activism in your own community.
I've just learned that a community garden is going in at G's school in Tomales. Not sure how they will set up or divide the land, but I think it's a wonderful opportunity to bring people together. There is something so basic and primal about touching the earth, planting a seed, watching it grow, harvesting it and then nourishing you or your family with that food. It feels empowering, while at the same time making you feel like a small piece in the puzzle of humanity.
I'm planning my Spring garden. Won't you join me? Just plant something. Anything. If I can do it. You can do it. I sound like Nike!
