And what knowledge, skills, resources or other assets can you bring to the mix? (Don't be bashful!)

Hi there Karen

You kindly sent me a message when I signed up and I have been meaning to contact you - sorry about the delay.

How are you doing?  I am so thrilled with what is happening in my front garden - Julia and her crew are doing amazing things.

I would love to check out your raised beds one day!
Bye for now

Thanks so much for helping to organize and facilitate last night's tomato workshop.  I hope to share the harvest this year, and you'll be first on my list!
