commented on a project updateThis is a really important work you are creating, given the current political climate. 98% of the country is poorer than ever before, while CEOs rake it in and send our $$ overseas. I hope you can get some media coverage of the book when it is released!

Posted project update #4Hooray! Goal Reached! We are 101% funded
Post CommentDear Backers,
All of us from the Sloan Street Community Garden thank you profoundly for this amazing outpouring of support from our friends, family, concerned citizens, and the Philadelphia gardening community. Since we've reached our goal, we will be going ahead with collecting the funds through amazon payments and sending out your rewards. We will collect your addresses, choices, and all that after our project end date of Oct. 30. Keep in mind that you can still edit or change your pledge before that date if you wish to request a reward that wasn't available earlier, or anything like that. If you have ideas for additional rewards, just let us know! Perhaps a set of 4 Chicobags?
It is also possible to keep pledging until the deadline. Since this website does take a commission, as does amazon payments, it wouldn't hurt to raise a little more so that we actually have $2500 or more for our project.
You've already done more than enough, but if you're eager to do more, perhaps you'd like to sign our online petition and leave a comment:
http://www.thepetitionsite.com/12/in-support-of-the-sloan-street-community-garden
We are having a stakeholders meeting tomorrow and will let you know about the outcome as soon as we can. Keep an eye on our blog for updates and the Thank You we will post with all of your names at: http://sloanstcommunitygarden.wordpress.com/Thanks again for your amazing support - this is a beautiful day for Philadelphia gardens!
best regards,
Julia Deak -

Posted project update #2open garden on Saturday
Post CommentDear supporters,
Thanks to your fantastic generosity and hard work in publicizing our efforts, we are more than halfway there! I think we've gotten some momentum going, so we are optimistic about making it all the way to the finish line and beyond by Oct. 30th. Every little bit helps - we are happy to see that some other kickstarter users (not from Philadelphia!) have started supporting us, perhaps because we are now "popular this week" and are being featured on the "discover projects" part of this website. Help keep us popular by encouraging your friends and contacts to become supporters, even if they only contribute $5 or even less.
Word on the street is that we are working on a video, which should be up soon, so you can look forward to that.
Also, if you are curious about the garden or want to take your kids or pets for a walk this weekend, feel free to drop by on Saturday morning. We are taking part in University City District's block clean-up efforts and cleaning up the garden this Saturday, Oct. 24, from 9 am - 11:30 am. (Thank you to Pam Wells for signing us up!) The garden will be open and free for community use, including the grill and picnic tables, so come on by! We're at 326 N. Sloan St., between 39th & 40th, just north of Powelton Ave.Have a great rest of the week and thanks again for pushing us past 50%!
Best regards,
Julia & the gardeners -
