Hi All,<br><br>Just wanted to let everyone know that the format for the Urban Crop Circle is going to change ... hopefully for the better for everyone.<br><br>We have been having gatherings at the Loyal Heights Community Center as arranged through the Sustainable Ballard Garden Guild. In trade for the room, Ingela has been offering hands-on garden classes, open to the public, at no cost. At the same time, the Urban Crop Circle was advertised in the Parks and Recreation brochure and also open to the public.<br><br>Our agreement with Loyal Heights is ending in December, as there are the inevitable changes that happen. But even before Ingela told me about it, I was thinking about changes that would be good for the group anyway.<br><br>Beginning in January we will no longer meet at Loyal Heights. And I am happy to have gatherings at my house (which is about 1/2 mile west of Loyal Heights Community Club). <br><br>Something that Paula has mentioned is perhaps having get togethers at different houses so we can see our gardens, and I love that idea too.<br><br>I will send more information when we get closer to the gathering in January (there is no December meeting), and in the meantime I would love feedback. You can email me directly (or the group if you choose) and then I will summarize what folks think and forward it to all.<br><br>Hope everyone has a lovely Thanksgiving!
