Supposedly some of our neighbors want to reclaim part of our courtyard for a garden. After attending this weekend's FamilyFarmed Expo I feel pretty inspired to follow-up on this. It's sandy with mixed light but who knows, I'm no master gardner.
I think last year's GlennLeaf Castle Social Committee's two building picnics were successful. One was in June and the other was over Labor Day. While only a portion of the building came out, we had most of the 1407 tier and representation from the others (including PFK).
All winter I've been talking with the retired teacher in the co-op across the courtyard. Mostly we've discussed the Participatory Budgeting in our Ward and the prospect of having tea, but I think it would be great if we could bridge this renter vs. owner divide. In the past few years, a few incidents occured where the co-op members sent mixed-messages of what they think of their renting neighbors. Perhaps hoisting a hot-dog and moaning about the building further west will make us all a little more neighborly.

Kirk mentioned that he thinks the little green space on Glenwood between 1407 and 1409 porches would serve us better as a garden since it gets more sun.
