I was thinking about the SL question did this exercise with Doug give me any insights or tools that I could use with Mendocino Community Gardens Project. The exercise that we did with Doug got me thinking how inspiring and refreshing it was. It reminded me of some of the things that my grandfather and I used to do. This tool I can use when I'm working with my children on the project talking to them about how nature is part of us. We should not abuse nature, we should cherish it. Talking about how it doesn't take that much to grow your own vegetables. You don't have to have a lot of land. If people can grow flowers in a bed, or pots why can't they grow vegetables? Even if they live in apartments they can replace flowers would vegetables. The other thing that I liked about Doug's exercise was also listening to the other person, and watching their expressions. Really trying to put your feet in their shoes, and acknowledge that their feelings are real.
