I will use this blog to disperse updates, etc.<br /><br />Right now, the garden is in the process of obtaining non-profit status. This process should be complete in the coming weeks. Once this is complete, then we can accept donations (supplies and money) and we will be able to put together a list of activities for the expansion process.<br /><br />If you are interested in joining, or learning more, send me an <a href="mailto:avsearle@gmail.com">email</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/475392582048983650-1086328251487660820?l=springfieldcommunitygarden.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Amandanoreply@blogger.com1
