passover


well here in Israel... the passing over is here- passover.. so everyone is busy with their spring cleaning....
but we are still busy with our garden projects!!!
its super hot here now.. all of a sudden its amazing.

you can see the plants are loving it. all starting to bloom and full of new growth
.
we have a couple sites for gardens... and that is great. one is in memeroy of a soldier that died in the Lebanon war, in 2006. His family feels really good about doing this project in his name. Here in Kiryat Shemona it is a reality that many people have died.. and this is one way to bring the community together. The family says that he loved nature, so a garden is a good way to commemorate him!
and we have another site, that we are still finalizing, with a group of the community members, in a different neighboorhood. And we have weekly meeting to talk about how to make this garden a reality. We want to do it in the central park of Kiryat Shemona- Park Hazahav, golden park( san francisco donated money- hence the name, and there is a stream that runs through which is called golden stream... some nice coincidences!!!) anyway, the park needs some rejuvenation and we think a community garden might be the answer!!! so it is looking hopeful!!!

It is so exciting to read about what is happening in the soil over there and that people are appreciating it! Thank you for the work you are doing!
