Words and Light

I was originally saving these photos and some others for a “tools we use”-themed “vignettes” blog post, but realized that that many photos in one post would have been a little unwieldy. So instead, I’ll have a mini-series of “tools we use”-themed diptych blog posts.

Here’s the extended caption for this first installment:

A 4-H community garden is taking root in an empty lot at 234 South Pershing Avenue in York City. At least 15 garden beds will be available, with more beds built specially for the Healthy World Cafe’s use. Community members interested in using a garden bed or two can sign an agreement and pay 10 dollars on a first-come, first-serve basis.

The 10-dollar fee to use one of 15 garden beds in the lot includes the use of shovels, rakes, hoes and other tools that are kept in two lockable sheds on-site.
