Community Garden
Pamela Neu offered an idea for the Build a Better Bowie campaign: a community garden. Her job as a social worker in this area has opened her eyes to the need for access to nutritionally rich foods that may otherwise be unavailable to low-income families and individuals.
She has spoken with the Bowie Mission about locating the garden next to their building; however, funds would need to be raised for the water, topsoil, seeds, etc.
There would be many benefits to a community garden in Bowie, including:
- Fostering the development of a community identity and spirit
- Providing opportunities to meet neighbors
- Producing nutritious foods
- Producing traditional crops otherwise unavailable locally
- Unique opportunities to teach youth about where food comes from, the importance of community and stewardship and bring them close to nature
- Providing a significant source of food
- Allowing families and individuals without land of their own the opportunity to produce food
Lent has just ended and if you observed it in any way, strictly or somewhere in the middle, you probably felt it. That slow shift in how you cook, what you reach for, and how often you stand in the kitchen wondering what else there is besides peanut butter and pimento cheese. But there is something about going through a season like that that resets your perspective.
You come out the other side appreciating things you did not think twice about before, and sometimes you discover a few new ones along the way.
As a kid, the frozen seafood we ate came in a rectangular box and answered to the name fish sticks.
They were breaded within an inch of their life, cooked until vaguely crisp, and served with enough ketchup to make you forget what you were eating.
They were not great. They were fine, which for a long time was about the best you could say for most frozen fish. And that stuck with me.
