Harvest Compassion… “Thank you so much for your kind and generous donation of seeds to our community garden. This past season, which was our first, we were able to raise over 500 pounds of squash, lettuce, beets and carrots as well as 400 pounds of potatoes and onions for our local food bank. We harvested lots of flowers for shut-ins as well. Because of your generosity, we know next season will be even better.â€

I tried to convince our city to landscape the medians, have public art, and lighting to beautify the entrance. It is nice that seeds are available for communities, and you can get free labor from garden clubs, students, local citizens, etc. People can adopt certain sections to maintain and take credit for in adding beauty.

Beautification can brings tourists and shoppers too, so more cities and towns should make this effort.
