What an innovative means of contributing to the community as well as providing a valuable education to the non violent offenders. This service would benefit both the offender and the master gardener. Hats of to the District Judge! Thanks for sharing.

This is an excellent idea with so many benefits. I hope it gets read by a lot of folks and it helps spread to more communities. Thanks, Paul.

There are several community gardens around here, but I don't think they are included as a part of community service like this one is.

Thank you for an inspiring article, Paul. This is a great idea. We should all forward Paul's article to our local judges.

Paul, this is one of the few articles I read while I was on vacation...I just didn't get a chance to comment. Now I have the opportunity to tell you that I am so glad you told the story of this garden! It is a wonderful idea that needs lots of exposure to spread and grow... Thank you for getting the word out, now more folks will talk about it and maybe more judges will institute a similar practise in their areas...

Thanks again for a wonderful article!

Yokwe,
Shari
