The purpose of this blog is to examine the interest of Hallowell residents in the formation of an organic gardeners cooperative to organize, plan, and implement organic gardening on land behind the Reed Center.

Share Your Vision
If you were a member of the Hallowell Organic Gardeners Cooperative, what would you envision the organization to be and the process for gardening?
In 1988 I was diagnosed with 4th stage lymphoma. After a major operation that took four hours, I recovered and then started my first chemotherapy treatment. While I was receiving my chemo, Nona, my wife, overheard three women talking about their attendance at a local HOPE Group in Portland. She spoke with the three women and as a result we started to attend H.O.P.E. Groups guided by Kenneth H. Hamilton, MD. The HOPE Groups and Ken's guided imageries played a major role in my healing and how I viewed life. We were friends with Ken until he passed away in 2022. A week before his death he challenged me to move his work further into the 21st century. I accepted the challenge!
Do you believe that transforming the land behind the Reed Center for organic gardening would result in a vibrant setting supporting community based agriculture?
Would you join the Hallowell Organic Gardeners Cooperative if such a cooperative was organized?
