  1. How do we appreciate food (and community, and environment), and how do we show our appreciation in ways that help us share what we value in food -- and that help us explore how we can live up to foods' value?
  
  2. What stories about food provisioning and sharing -- especially from the city -- do we hear that people want to share? Do we have a role in helping with that sharing? What does that look like, and who do we work with? 
  
  We have shared a number of readings this summer, below. The Gardening as Spiritual Practice interns through the Wesley Center have also shared some of their readings, including: Diana Butler Bass' chapter one "Dirt" in "Grounded: Finding God in the World, A Spiritual Revolution" (New York, N.Y.: HarperCollins, 2015).

  Here is one of our work in-progress drawings of what the site will look like:
  
  
  
  We want the raised beds to be accessible to everyone. Here is a guide from the U of M Extension on building accessible gardens: Accessible gardening for therapeutic horticulture.
   
  We would also like to incorporate a Soil Center using The Ground Rules model as our guide.
