Vegetables in Flower at Community Garden
In July 2008, First Parish Church, Newbury worked with GAL other New Eden Collaborative members on the the design and construction of a float for Newburyport’s Yankee Homecoming parade. The theme of the float was The Octopus’s Garden – One Earth One Family. Our float won the coveted Mayor’s Award for originality and best exemplifying Yankee Homecoming’s theme of “Family”. GAL also began working on a 9′ x 60′ mural on “Visions of a Sustainable Future” based on input from New Eden Collaborative members. GAL artists worked on the mural during the hours of the Greater Newburyport CSA weekly vegetable share distribution to create an opportunity for dialogue with New Eden members on vision and hopes for a sustainable future.
