Our first harvest from the Maumee Branch community garden! 🪴 The garden is beautiful, but the way it brings our community together and sparks conversation is even better. Year after year we see old and new customers waiting for the growing season.

I'm putting out some free basil at the Blue Springs community garden. It's on the picnic table for whoever wants it.

Off to a decent start at the community garden here in DC - garlic scapes just starting to appear, tomatoes with plenty of blossoms, and I have three surviving pepper plants by the looks of it. Echinacea, as always, is invincible, and my blackberries are just starting to ripen. #gardening

I started plants for my garden and a 'few more'. I supplied 6 friends with veggie plants in trades and gave a few to the community garden, too. I have a pressure washer to borrow, cat sitting, perennials, some beds turned over, and a drive to an appt that I need. #SharingEconomy #Gardening

🌱 I went to a fantastic community gardening event today in my neighbourhood in Montreal, where the borough was giving away plants, soil, and woodchips next to a school on a street that is permanently closed off to traffic for the safety of the kids and to provide more play space @lepmr.bsky.social

One of the largest community-owned #solar farms in the 🇬🇧 UK is now crowdfunding to invest in #batteries, too. The nearly 36K solar panels installed demonstrate what can be achieved when a #renewable energy project is co-owned by local people . It generates clean energy for 7K homes during the day.

Wonderful to see #CommunityEnergy getting the shine it deserves. This once niche sector is going mainstream and delivering big wins for people and planet. Thank you, Positive News

I've started feeling this weird sense of optimism recently. The kind of optimism that keeps you afloat throughout the sea of negativity that is our world at times. The tide has turned, in my mind at least. A new world is sprouting before my eyes and I can't help but stare.
