City Hall Goes Green
Click photo--but you won't find a bike rack there yet. 11/12/09 UPDATE: BIKE RACK TO BE INSTALLED BY JANUARY 1! (Hey, it's the little things that start to add up . . .)
Decatur High School Community Garden--started by a high school student named Anna Rose Gable
This is actually a community garden, not a school garden--community members rent plots, just like at our Dunwoody Community Garden (for which there is a 20-person waiting list currently--so there is a need for more gardens in Dunwoody). What about that space at Peachtree Middle School when you drive in, on the right? Click photo for story about how Anna Rose got started. (And, by the way, I hear she is at Yale now)
