Hi Mike, just checking in, letting you know we haven't forgotten about you. Please let me know if there's anything else I can tell you about Egleston Square Main Streets. A good way to reach me is: daria@casinelli.org<br />

Hi Mike,<br />
<br />
I'm on the board of Egleston Square Main Streets and have heard third hand all about your place! We are so excited about what you all are doing. I do want to drop by, not sure exactly when (I found another garden spot). I'd also love to talk to you, or some one from your group about working with ESMS. We're just getting started on an open air market for next year that will include local produce, and hopefully, lots of micro-businesses. Let's chat. 617 312 7650. Daria

Hey Gardening folks! Just saw this thread and thought I'd share that there is a effort underway to take back what will hopefully be the first of many vacant lots, starting with one on Boylston, 1/2 block east of the Brewery Complex. It may not be exactly a lot of Park Sider's typical stomping grounds but I bet there's a few that walk by there often. If anyone is interested let me know. The next workday is sunday 8/29 10-3. Feel free to waltz on over if you're motivated.<br />

There's a community garden in the Fens. Maybe Olmsted thought those residents deserved one.

Check out <a href="http://www.bnan.org">www.bnan.org</a>. The Boston Natural Areas Network manages most of the community gardens in Boston, and you can sign up in early spring to get a plot. There is often a long waiting list, so trying earlier can't hurt. The closest garden that I know of in our area is at the bottom of Montebello, next to the JP Co-housing. They have three pear trees, too!<br />

Happy gardening!

Hi Folks,<br />
<br />
I thought I'd let you all know that I've dropped this idea...for now. I still think it's a great idea, but in the absence of a very motivated partner in crime...I just don't have the time.....now...<br />

Thanks. I have been talking to the ED Christine Poff a bit, but as I wrote before, it's been on the back burner. I wouldn't mind talking to a Board Member and I'd like to get a bit more historical information too.<br />

sorry I havent responded sooner. This morning while walking my dog I spoke with two members of the FP Board. One, who has been a member for 6 years, said this idea has never been presented to the board. She did say it may be hard to make happen but did not rule it out as a possibility. She did seem very interested and excited by the idea. She said that the best would be to go through one of the members, Dale (dalerl@comcast.net) and try to present it to the board. Hope that helps!<br />
<br />
Good luck

Hi,<br />
<br />
Just letting you all know that this idea hasn't died. The first step will be writing a letter to the Parks Commissioner to ask her permission to have a community garden in Franklin Park. I'd like to do a little bit more research before writing that letter.<br />
<br />
If you have an ideas, suggestions, or comments, I'd love to hear them. Thanks.<br />
