Today, I'm really excited about starting a 'community shared garden' at my place in Tai Peng Village. I have started clearing up a pice of land for the project where I live and I just made a posting on Lamma.com, Lamma Island's Community Website, to ask if other people would be interested in helping to set it up.

Back in Calgary, Canada about 5 years ago, I had been involved in a community shared garden. At that time I had two 2 mentally challenged roommates also got involved and it had been a great way for all of us to make new friends. Not only that, but we had a good time and a lot of delicious fresh vegetables to share with all our non-gardening friends.

I sure hope this new garden can 'get off the ground!'

I found this neat little video about a community gardner in Toronto: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMJB_bhF58E
