The Walker Gardens: The weather is turning fast and its time to think about gardening and planting and the Walker exterior. I know we planned on roses on the northwest corner, and that will happen but in the meantime there are lots of other areas to think about and plan for, including the entrance and the backyard. This is the time to work out a plan for the year. Anyone at all interested in the gardens should come. I propose our first meeting to be next Tuesday March 15 at the end of the community meal. Major objections or suggestions for a different time and place are welcome. FFI Kristine Smith
