1. Help me improve your gardening experience.

I have had a lot of good and not-so-good comments about how the Community Garden went this year. Overall I think everyone was happy with the gardens. I would like all of you you to take a few minutes and fill out the following survey so that I can make it better for everyone. If you would, please write your comments in the space below.

Please be sure to check the box, giving me permission to use your comments in any of our catalogs and websites. If you look in the January 2012 Gardens Alive! catalog (forthcoming), I believe you will see some of your fellow gardeners in a nice little segment about he community garden. There are other photos of the gardens used throughout the book as well. I hope to get some information on the Gardens Alive! website also.

Thanks

Craig
