For July, we took our community gardening conversation south of the boarder with a chat with Diana Schmitt McCall from the Town of Black Mountain, North Carolina.  Diana works for Black Mountain Parks & Rec as the director of the Dr. John Wilson Community Garden.  It was a very dynamic and interesting conversation!   We are in admiration of what this community garden has accomplished over the last decade.  Learn more below.
