Bossy’s Favorite Things.

Community gardens in the middle of the city. Bossy can’t think of a more life-affirming display.

   Heard this morning about funds-strapped Philbrook Art Museum in my hometown of Tulsa, a beautiful 1920’s mansion with exquisite grounds. They didn’t have money for summer annuals for one large garden so, with all donations and volunteer help, have made it into a garden to feed Food Bank clients in the area. I’m so proud of them.

   I walk by one in Boston’s South End every day after work. It makes me happy every time I look at it!

   We have these all over my city, (but the winter gardens are lots more fun unless you are craving okra, zucchini and peppers). Orchards too, but mostly citrus. One group here that does a lot to help get them get started is: http://urbanharvest.org/ They can really stretch donated dollars. Maybe this should go under poverty party instead.

   Whatever I try to grow is stamped FAILURE TO THRIVE and withers there, sickly and small, mocking me. Maybe I should try to grow weeds.

   They’re popping up all over the place, aren’t they? I love to look at community gardens, too (and used to belong to one).
