TO: Lucy Bradley

I joined the community_garden list recently to listen and learn.  The 
biotechnology discussions are interesting, but you may be right in 
developing a separate list for those discussions.  I am new to community 
gardening (I started one in our rural Arkansas county last spring) and have 
much to learn from all of you with much more experience.  I would like to 
see more discussions of funding, using volunteers, liability, freebies, 
community support, model gardens, etc.  In short, I want to pick brains for 
experience and knowledge.  I plan to stay on the listserve, no matter what 
you decide. All the issues are related.

Thanks, Georgann Smith
