Roots and Shoots *

Ed, Owen and I took a field trip to see the Scottsdale Community College community garden. I'm hoping to start a community garden program in Scottsdale and have been researching and meeting with folks who are interested in it also. The community college has had this community garden going since the 1970's. We talked with a couple older gentleman who have been growing vegetables there for 30 years.


Ed, Owen and my community garden partner-in-crime Joanie. Joanie and I are trying to come up with a name for our community garden group and are running out of ideas. (We run it by the husbands first to see if they like it and so far, none have sticked.) For example, we liked Small Wonders but Ed had to point out a creepy little kid robot already had that name. Any ideas or suggestions are appreciated!


Owen was paying close attention on how to grow peanuts. Ed was not.


The SCC community garden - not a bad little garden considering it's in the middle of the summer in the desert.

*Super cute name already taken by a kid's garden group.
