This is Janet, and she’s totally awesome:
Janet is a business owner who has a shop up the street from the garden, and goes for regular walks around the neighborhood. She was so excited and curious about the Flower Ave Garden; asking questions about everything I had planted. She was very supportive and encouraging, and told me how Korean cuisine uses amazing vegetables (I totally agree). I gave Janet some sugar snap peas as a thanks for all of the kindness =] Love ya Janet!

This Flower Ave Garden Project sounds amazing! I think that community gardens and other similar projects could go a long way in building a more sustainable world. Even beyond that, just as this post shows, they help to build connections in the community. I would really like to look more into the community garden movement and resurgence!
