I want to make a suggestion, and I could be getting a little ahead of things here.
As we traveled between sites yesterday, I had a brief but inspiring conversation with Sarah and Phillipa, about how we, as humans, have lost 'that' connection to land
, and hence, the importance of involving children in the community garden to develop a connection to the land early in life. I know that this is not a new concept to anyone but to me it seems that one of the fundamental reasons for 'wanting' to create the garden in the first place is to create a space for people to connect, or re-connect with the land.
Anyway, this has got me thinking about themes or slogans that we may use for the community garden....... so I want to throw a couple out there, what about "Community - connecting to land" or "People connecting to land."
Does anyone else have any ideas???
