I hope your holiday season is going well so far! I am working on the third grant for the garden, and they are asking this question:
What other organization(s) is/are currently, or will potentially be providing assistance for your garden? Specifically, what kind of support would you receive from each group.
Since both of you are long time residents and just all around fabulous, I was hoping you could help me brainstorm some possible contacts/businesses/ organizations for the garden. The ones I came up with so far are:
- Police
- Fire
- Church- the one on Godown?
- Retirement Home-?
- School-Gables? didn't they just start a garden? I wrote Carol Linville about it, but haven't heard back yet...
- Master Gardener Program- MG are required to do 25 hours of service, this could be a site
- Watterson High School-HS are required to do 25 hours of service, this could be a site
- Franklin Park Conservatory Growing to Green Program-extra plants, compost, etc?
- Columbus Parks and Recreation Department
- Straders- said they were interested in helping
- Oakland-?
- Rain Brothers- they are friends of mine and do water collection barrels, compost tumblers, etc.
- Construction company?
- Landscape company?
- Big Columbus Companies?
- Mr. Mulch??? or Joan's topsoil?
- OTHERS???
Also, if you have any desire to draft a letter telling these people about the garden and asking for their support and a contact name, it would be really helpful to the garden planning. I would like to break ground May 2009!
