community gardens
so i’ve been thinking a lot about how to bring communities closer together, and while my participation in arte y realidad has really heloped me grow i still think there are ways i can improve (i actually think we all agree on that).
so, the main point i want to bring up is that i think that having a community garden might be a really good way to enhance our lives and togetherness.
here is what i envison. a space were people can come together outside, were local people work together to farm and take care of a space; a place were we can hold workshops and other stuff. so yeah a lot like a park but we can farm on this one. there are things like this already but i think we need more of them. we need to multiply them in comunal spaces!!!
i picture all the stuff we do already, the bracelet making, runing, playing with clay, having an oven, making a fire plus the fire throwing stuff with the golos and the chains, plus the new stuff like the hula hoops and stuff.
idealy we could just do this in a park but i don’t think they would let us do a small fire, but i still think it would be worth it.
having a space for this would be nice, specially one in which we could learn to work together and learn about the species we inhabit this earth with. a community garden would be really awesome.
so that is my new project, but there needs to be something more i can’t quite figure out yet….

I recently got that dream, too! We must be in the same dreamscape.
I don’t know what community you live in, but I have become inspired by the idea that agriculture can build any community up more from the inside. The community where I want to start one is a slum area in South America. You can read about it at my blog. I haven’t advanced much beyond the initial hoping stages, either.
