Wise Words Community Garden--
Just One Feature Among Hundreds
Now I have seen it all--social networking for gardeners at YourGardenShow.com. This new gardening site features examples of every type of garden, all over the world. From window boxes to raised beds to community supported gardens, to vegetables and flowers; you'll find it all here, submitted by the gardener.Join in and get a conversation going with other gardeners. Get ideas, ask questions, learn about sources for supplies. YourGardenShow.com is a place where gardeners, families, farmers and restaurateurs come together to share their gardens. Even master gardeners' handiwork is available for view, an inspiring way to learn from the best.
And there's more. Cornell University has provided, for your personal research, an extensive database of 6000 vegetables and nearly 6000 ornamentals are cataloged from the Missouri Botanical Garden. If you don't find it here, where will you?
So, you may ask, what is the goal of this site? To encourage sustainable gardening, no matter what your back yard may look like. High rises have rooftops, and even rooftops are being gardened, so don't think you're out of luck.
As you enter the site, click on the Gardens tab and you'll be transported to around the world where you can visit gardens of all types and sizes. Visit the blog to learn more from a multitude of experienced gardeners, all wanting only to share their knowledge with you, even if all you can manage is a 1 square foot garden. You'd be amazed at what you can produce from such a tiny 'farm'. Hope to see you there!

Nice article! and I agree, I think in today's fast pace living and career driven people, we tend to overlook how important gardening is. I'm lucky to live in an area with a communal garden, and it brings together the neighbors, we have parties there , get together, meeting etc, very important. Thanks!
