Meeting members of the Mart community who are interested in a community garden has been a great experience. I am very excited that there are members of the community who are interested in this project which would bring various populations of the community together. In fact, this aspect of bringing the community together has been a main theme in all the meetings I have attended at Mart. It is very exciting to know the community is willing to take steps to bring this divided town together.
The stresses our group in having in regards to establishing a site for the garden, I think, are the least of our concerns. We have met with members of the community who have said they want this community space and I am very impressed with their ideas and thoughts on the project thus far. We are meeting some resistance, but none to the actual idea of community commons space, just to the site of this space.
I feel that as our class continues working with this community and as the next semester takes over our efforts this project will surely be born and will hopefully be a place which continues in the effort to bring this community even closer to it's goal of unity across the town of Mart.
