Hazelwood Flats Neighborhood Garden

by Sabrina Williams

Well it's that time of year again. The birds are singing (even if you don't want them to), the rain is falling, the weather is hot, and the flowers are blooming. If you have not guessed already, it is definitely Summer time. It's the perfect time to get a garden started, grow a few vegetables, and get out of the house. Only one problem - some of us don't necessarily have the space to grow flowers. Having space to grow vegetables is definitely out of the question.

Which is the point of this article. The space in the form of a community garden is being made. The only thing that we have to do is roll our sleeves up and get to work. The only thing about free stuff is that you usually have to put some physical work into it. So right now you're probably wondering what is in it for you? Besides a free plot to grow your own vegetables it's not much.

What you do get is a cleaner neighborhood, and one less lot that the local kids can find crack pipes and heroin/meth needles on. Not to mention the fact that one dollar not spent on foodis a dollar more spent on gas which with the rising gas prices is something we all can use. Oh, did I forget to mention the benefits of a healthier diet, much needed physical activity, and a chance to meet your neighbors? Well, now I did!

So, hopefully by now I've caught your attention. The garden is on Ladora St. If you want more information, contact

Biological Patents Yield Unequal Benefits
by Julio Godoy 5/29/8
...The medicinal or nutritional properties of many plants can give rise to enormous economic benefits, which put patents for naturally existing plants at the center of an ethical, commercial and legal debate.
