Update #3 · Jun 1, 2012 · comment

Hello wonderful people!

I am overwhelmed by the generosity everyone has shown, thanks to you we have nearly reached our goal!

We have had some fantastic media coverage, last week I had the honor of appearing on WKNO's Checking on the Arts program with 11 year old Ja'Sean, one of the kids actively involved with the garden. Ja'Sean did a WONDERFUL job and we both enjoyed ourselves. You can listen to the 10 minute broadcast here.

We were also featured on Kerry Crawford's  I Love Memphis Blog, check it out!

Thank you again for your support and belief in community art projects, without you we could not move forward!!!
