Karla Ambos and the other organizers and participants of the Apalachicola City Square Community Garden really do deserve a hearty round of applause.Through their efforts to make the community garden the success that it is, this group in the process also managed to generate a fair amount of interest from other garden organizers from around the area.
One such group situated about 120-miles west of Apalachicola, is the organizers of the Defuniak Springs Community Garden.
According to a blog post back in February of this year, the Defuniak Springs Community Garden group patterned their vision and approach after the Apalachicola project.
Also on Fiskars Garden Blog, the company in which the Apalachicola group submitted a grant application for garden supplies referenced a post from the Mayor’s Blog on their Project Orange Thumb Grant program.
I guess that it's a tried and true fact that community gardens grow more than just plants, vegetables, and communities. They also generate interest.
