Four members of Seagrove Community Garden spent today at a workshop on beekeeping and building cross-cultural community at Anathoth Community Garden in Cedar Grove, NC. We spent the day working in their garden, sharing a phenomenal pot-luck lunch, listening to 2 Argentine beekeepers, and finished up the afternoon with a panel discussion about inviting other cultures into our community gardens. This was the 5th.workshop in a six-part series sponsored by PING, a collaborative effort between our garden, Covenant in Fuquay-Varina, NC, and Anathoth. The final workshop will be held at Cedar Grove UMC and will be about food preservation.
We spent much of the morning digging potatoes and pulling up onions.

Wow--I'm so impressed. I enjoyed reading the article. I found you as I was on a quest to write an article for my blog on NC Potteries.
I've been at your blog for the last 30minutes and love it all. I would encourage you to register your blog at Botanical.com It's free and many people there will be interested in your blog and the community garden. I don't have any connection to Botanical as it's just an avenue for me to meet fellow bloggers. My blog is about promoting small and unknown gardens in NC as well as document my own growing experience.
I would like to come see you in the near future---probably in the fall. I would like to interview someone at the garden and then followup with a review on my blog of your pottery. I write for the company Proven Winners Plants. Fortunately, I live in Clemmons,NC which is just west of Winston Salem and can make this a nice day trip.
So nice to meet you and have enjoyed a looksie around your blog--very well done.

Anna, I'd love to give you a tour of the garden and answer any questions you might have. Drop me a line at tgraypots at yahoo dot com whenever you're ready to pay us a visit, and if I'm unable to meet with you, will find someone that can.
Later-Tom
