Canvassing Eagle Park

for Community Garden

We had a wonderful turnout for our first effort toward the construction of this community garden to be located at

265 Admiral Street in Providence. 

Our good friend, Marcellus Sharpe has done most of the hard work at learning how this will work.  We were glad to add some "legwork" to his efforts by distributing flyers to invite the community to participate.  After all, the participation of friends and neighbors in the area will be essential to its success! 

It is exciting to see how the Law of Attraction works to connect people who want to achieve great things.  Our friend Caffi came from Boston, by BUS to be a part of this project.  She is so passionate about farming that she actually is studying it out in Boston and working with other communities and small groups to offer education on how to farm.  We are fortunate to have drawn a person of her skills and abilities to us as we will need such an advisor over the important months to come.

In addition to Caffi, Marcellus has shown the vision and passion to create this and has the business knowledge to consider each detail carefully.  Sam has been instrumental in organizing the CBA Group to be the people who go out into the community and really get things rolling.  Bob is awesome!  He brought his 3 sons, our friend Andrew, and basically arrived with a full minivan of volunteers! 

My daughter Annika and I were glad to be with this wonderful group, and Alberta brought her sister Danielle along with her daughters Lindsey and Skyler.  I love that we are involving our family (especially our little kids) because (to me anyway), community means ALL OF US.  I am just so excited personally about this!

Here are some photos from the event:
