Kate and Aresh Visit!

April 5-7th, a pair of professional gardener/community organizers gave us a visit. Kate Temple-West and Aresh Javadi live in New York, where they work with various community gardens, including the Children's Magical Garden, and an organization called "More Gardens!" (http://www.moregardens.org). They held various discussions and workshops about their projects in New York, the challenges that community gardens face, and steps that one can take to strengthen such a project. 
​
Kate is also an herbalist and theatrical director. Here she is giving a workshop in the Pitzer garden about creativity, puppetry, and the spirituality found in nature.
