Alia...do you really use words like "hegemony" and "class warfare" while gardening? My heart is fairly bursting with pride. /wipes tear

oh yeah. i threatened to douse myself in gasoline and set it on fire if they really did ban the use of plastic inside the garden.

(i was reveling in hyperbole, i grant you, but we have a small but ridiculously vocal group who actually proposed this. twitch.)

Sorry that you're having such drahma with the gardening club. Sounds like good fodder for a novel to me.

BTW, what's the um..well..yeah stand for?

i was afraid if i did list what i've done, it would come off as bragging/self-congratulatory. (i've been generally a welcoming person and hosted our first event of the season, a seed swap, and leant our costco pavilion for a composting event.)
