Have to say that this morning finds me mourning the seemingly impending death of our new-this-year community garden in Grant Park, which leaves me full of doubts on this very topic. Should I have been more supervisory? I was pretty hands off, trying to encourage ownership from all participants. Maybe we didn't come as far as we could of, as fast as we could have. Maybe that would have made a difference in securing our lease. Feels like I'm getting a lesson in neighborhood politics, and that doesn't feel good. How do we develop cooperative models of leadership that allow us to realize the dream that motivates us all to show up?
