Celebration Sunday

5/6/2013

0 Comments

 
Throughout the long journey of having an idea, developing a strategy, working with city, and countless other tasks that had to be completed before the land lease agreement was finalized HdV has been lucky enough to have a small but totally committed group of people who have supported, encouraged, and motivated each other along the way. On Sunday, April 20th we all got together at the garden site to celebrate not only the finalized land lease agreement but also to capture the significance of such a milestone and what it means to all of us.

Rounding up at 10am the group embraced the beauty of the nature around our site by sitting in a circle on the grass of our neighbor's lawn- Bon ViewPark. We went around having each member share what their vision of the garden was or what they hope it would be once the residents started planting. Spanish and English conversation flowed effortlessly as well as tears and laughter while we sang a song, listened to a poem, and performed a group activity. It was a very heartwarming and spiritual afternoon as we took time to connect more to each other and more importantly the land. After walking around the site and getting a chance to feel the dirt run through our fingers we all enjoyed lunch in the shade as we continued to share our experiences and more importantly our joy in celebrating the fruits of our labor.
