Ordo ab chao

Managing a cooperative garden is tricky. It’s easy to overlook important, time-sensitive tasks while putzing around wondering what to do next. So we’ve developed a system that lets the Chief Gardening Officers discuss in advance what will be the best use of our limited time at the garden, record it on a whiteboard which we hang from the garden gate at the beginning of the session, and then we can all just work through the list until eveything important has been completed. It saves time, reduces confusion, and makes sure we don’t forget to pick the zucchinis.
