Salvation Army's Community Garden

So, when I dropped off the box of produce at the Salvation Army yesterday afternoon, a noticed a row of burlap sacks and some car tires along the fence lining the parking lot. The sacks were plump full (with dirt and compost I suppose) and had all sorts of different plants protruding from them.
The Community Garden Partnership has some great programming and established gardens in our area with a main purpose being to teach folks how to grow their own food, sustainably. They have several gardens in the area, but I wasn't aware of the Salvation Army location until yesterday.
I happened to have a camera in the car, so helped myself to a few photos. Robb Waugus, Development Director for the Salvation Army, probably grew curious as to why someone would be hanging out in the parking lot photographing the garden. He joined me outside for a brief chat about his garden... and mine.-

This is creative, space-saving gardening at its best...
