Leonard is from Portland, OR which makes it funny that he was my info source for this project that I bike within a few hundred feet of multiple times per week. I guess the internet is good for something.

I went for a peek at the garden the other day, and I liked what I saw. It’s a great location — in the five or so minutes I spent looking around, plenty of folks walked by. Patrick and Tracy have great signs explaining what the project’s about. Things were nice and tidy for this time of year, too, with just a bit of grass peeking through the mulch.

I’ll be interested to track the progress of this project, and hope there’ll be more work days coming up in which to meet Patrick, Tracy, and the others involved.
