We all know by now that my blog is based on the concept of changing the world around you one act at a time.
And we all know my slogan, I mean its up there in the little corner even.
And what I’ve discovered is actually a small example of this actually happening in my town. For personal safety, i will not disclose the name of where i live…but i’ve dicovered a little garden that is full of amazing foliage. Vegetables and flowers alike, all growing spectacularly and producing well. (except broccoli) even the weeds were magnificient.
Keep in mind, I study wild edibles as a hobby so this is actually very exciting..especially when I found a purslane hiding under some bean that sprawled out wider than my head and with succulent leaves as big as half my thumb. Believe me, i took that beauty home for frying up later.
So this garden area is run by a small organization of gardeners. Basically they meet once a week for maintanance, but you can come at any time that is coneviant for you and help out. Any one is allowed to join and do this. The food is grown and handed out to the local woman’s shelter and food pantries…but coolest of all is that the garden is open to anyone who needs the food.
yes people, my town has a public veggie garden…and best of all, there’s no vandalism to be seen ❤ So its confirmed in my mind that while people can be dicks….that public veggie gardens 'food forests" are perfectly capable of happening and succeeding.
Now, i leave you with this link :

(btw, going back to college. Possibly gunna major in biochemistry. This is how I choose to change my world)
