Gray Mockingbird Community Garden

Here are a few pictures taken yesterday while on our bike ride at the Gray Mockingbird Community Garden.  The garden is at 2000 North D Street, which happens to house the Scottish Rite Temple and is currently a voting location on election days.  They have a large property there and they allow a good portion of it to be used as a community garden.  Brian Kirsch is the garden's director.  He was there yesterday along with Dominque, a volunteer that works about 20 hours per week on maintaining the rows of tomatoes, eggplant, squash, corn, etc.  Produce from the garden is used by two local eating establishments.  One is South Shores at 502 Lucerne and the other is Mother Earth Cafe at 410 2nd Avenue North.  For more information or if you would like to volunteer, contact Brian at 561 246 0148.
