Real Men Make Community Gardens

I knew that Joe Lamp’l and the gang from Fiskars were doing a garden "makeover" yesterday in Baltimore, and turns out it was a totally cool thing – story coming soon.  But til then, here’s some shots of sweaty middle-aged men hard at work making the Oliver Neighborhood Community Garden a reality.  I like ‘em hot and dirty, don’t you?

Joe’s on the right wolfing down some classic American picnic food.  In the shot below with the new raised beds in the background is Paul Tonnesen, president of Fiskars in North America.

Oh Susan, you crack me up. Hope you had a good time at your tweetup. We had a great day at the garden and the transformation was amazing. I hope you get by some time to see it now! Thanks for stopping by.
