Several weeks ago Nancy Myers told me of an exciting idea that she not only had percolating but that she had already started executing. That idea is the construction of a community garden for the Hartsville area that will assist people in growing their own vegetables and maybe even enough produce to also sell at the Hartsville Good Living Marketplace. It is one of those ideas that makes so much sense you wonder why such an place has not been in Hartsville forever. Well, it is now coming.
There is a great story about the garden on SC Now.com that talks about a variety of groups, including Nancy and her grand children, who cleaned up the garden spot this past Sunday.
From a community building perspective this is one of those projects on which so much comes together. You have a person with an idea who is not afraid to ask others about helping to implement. You have "others" who understand the benefits and say Yes. And, then, because you have a "sweet spot" things move. Many people in Hartsville will be enjoying produce from this garden spot this year.
