We miss seeing our CSG students in the gardens, UACC friends at community markets, and CFJN partners in advocacy. Please know our hearts and minds are with you. We are working to provide coordination for emergency food assistance and to get the gardens robust and ready for your return. In solidarity -Jeanette, Megan, Aleen, Richard, Shantell, Jordan, Shannon, Mackenzie, Sarah, Tami, Yolonda, Leon, Michael, Rick & Peter
Ode From the Garden
It’s quieter now, less traffic, more bees;
more birds in the garden, more buds on the trees.
Our onions are nestled all snug in raised beds,
Along with potatoes like Kennebecs, and Reds.
Rain falling, birds calling, bugs crawling about,
A gardener keeps gardening when branches branch out.
The sound of Spring rising and cool morning dew,
But there’s one sound we’re missing, and that sound is you.
Ms Shannon, Ms Sarah, Misters Davis and Harden,
Ms Yolonda, Ms Mackenzie, Farmer Rich in the garden.
Don’t worry, we’ll be here when school starts again,
The CSG Gardeners and all of your friends.
