question: Is it better to have a bunch of generalists in a community like Gaviotas or does it take a collective of specialists?
Although summer is generally the locals time to rake in as much cash from the tourists as possible in order to take time off in the winter to ski, we need to keep pushing the idea of community in the north shore region. We have the wonderful farmers market five days a week, free concerts and movie nights at the park, and awesome brew festivals a couple time throughout the summer, but I’d like to see a Community Garden. A community garden will promote more than just 2 hours of fun at the outdoor movie showing of E.T. and will bring people of all ages together to become responsible for a piece of the community as a collective. A community garden can provide fresh organic fruits and vegetables to anyone willing to put forth the effort. This would literally allow community members to become a part of the “growth” of Tahoe, both in friendships made and produce picked. I am promoting this idea to try and bring together the willing locals of the area to create something that can evolve and give the participants a chance to come together and grow.
