Collaboration

I subscribe to TED. I get an announcement now and then that they have new videos available for me to watch. One week they let me know of a video from TEDxSydney. It was there I met Rachel Botsman and Roo Rogers, the authors of What's Mine is Yours a book about Collaborative Consumption.



It's an old idea expanded to use our new technologies. Now we can barter with neighbors or strangers with a lot of confidence.

Then one of the flower blogs I follow made me aware of these gals. The Wonder Weeders. Just what I need. A group of women and men who share gardening skills. Once a week they meet to work in one members garden. What a boost that would be. Every 6 weeks, 12 hands digging in my garden, sharing the work and the bounty of my vegetables and future fruits. New friends. Shared knowledge.


Think about it. If you would like to join me and 4 other men and women, we could do wonders for each others gardens. Just leave a comment here or email drcdgardener@gmail.com
