Hello all, happy early spring to those of you who are experiencing it! Here in western Colorado, we've got our tiny rainy season going on. what are you doing in your communities, in your gardens, in your organizing spaces? what kind of cool praxis have you got going on?

We've been planting native trees. The acorns and chestnuts spent all winter resting in sawdust/sand. Now they are sprouting and we replant them in recycled milk cartons, to be planted out next year. Bf has another raised bed built and already planted with strawberries, and he seeded a lot of plants for the garden.

When we are not busy we are setting up a framework for a real-life community center and are currently inquiring about a space for it. I'm building some online documentation/presentation for the project and we will be starting to contact possible participants and supporters. All this is still very vague but I plan to document our steps so if things don't work out we can analyze to improve, and also help others to create similar spaces. If it wasn't for this very SLRPNK instance where I find inspiration and resources this project would still be stuck in my head but some bits are actually materializing.
