Neil: What a charming park and how wonderful to have access to it! The work day sounds like an excellent idea we could utilize here in some of our park areas to, A, get some work done in the park and, B, learn a new gardening technique or brush up on a few. I very much like this idea and will bring it up at some of the garden clubs I belong to. In these days of budget cuts, some of our public parks are suffering from lack of funds and staff, so this would definitely be a benefit to both sides. I hate the phrase "win/win," or I would have said that.
Thank you for your always interesting articles. Keep them coming, Neil!
