Kudos everyone!

Hi All

I am very pleased to announce that we will be receiving a beautification award from the city of Grosse Pointe Park, it is a civic award.

"Your award is in recognition of the Grayton Garden Project. Hopefully, your project will become a prototype for similar area gardens."

Apparently the city has gotten a lot of questions about starting a community garden in the Park and they haven't been able to give them much direction. I agreed to help them with a seminar for others who want to start similar gardens.

There is an "Awards Night" that a limited number of us will be able to attend. While I would love it if every person involved in the garden could come, we had to go with those who put in some serious Sunday time. But it truly has been a project of the whole block and I am really pleased how everyone jumped right on board. I have really enjoyed getting to know all of my neighbors!

Speaking of the garden, there is STILL Arugula, lettuce, peas, lima beans, green beans, and beets in the garden............please help yourself!!!!!

Remember November 1st is the last day in the garden and no Sundays before then. November 4th is the first INDOOR potluck. 6:00 still okay with everyone? It will be at Jan and Rob's house. Kids, as always, are welcome.
