It looks like we may need to take more direct action

No one at City Hall is actively standing in the way of OKing the Rochelle Avenue or Marx Avenue locations. They are indirectly standing in the way by passing the paperwork around from desk to desk with blinding speed. It works just as well as saying no outright and who can get angry at political quicksand, right? After all, it's nobody's fault. That's just the way it is in government. Right?

Wrong.

It looks like we may be getting close to taking more direct action, so I'm going to start posting tidbits about dealing with city hall (in a general, lower case way) and about benefits. You can also help by starting to introducing friends, neighbors and strangers to the idea. The more of us there are, the more our voice can be heard if we have to go that route.

Give people the address to this site, or give them the Monroe Community Gardens email address (monroegardens@gmail.com) or gather their email addresses and sent those to monroegardens@gmail.com so we can send them some information.

First, here are some
benefits of community gardens from GardenWorks.


I'll be back with more ammunition soon.
