Gardening in Vegas

Tonopah Community Garden
This last weekend a group of us went to check out the Tonopah Community Garden (TCG) and I have to say it was an amazing experience. Sometimes living in the city, I feel out of touch with reality. I feel like I'm drowning in consumerism and I just need something to hold on to. This project is real and definitely needs more help. The mujer that is responsible for making the garden has big plans.
The TCG can really be a project that creates a strong community in Vegas. I'm going to try and make it every Saturday from 9am to 1pm. Try and come! They are currently working on the Permaculture section. Its time to learn and relearn how to garden and how to give back to the land that we have been taking from over and over again. Its time to relearn how to thank the land and to give back as much as we take.
