Saying goodbye to a true garden friend

Anyone who has worked in the garden in the last year, probably has had the good fortune of meeting 7th grader, Michael Ferro.  He has been an active member of the Orville Wright Middle School Garden Club, helped build the Emerson Avenue Community Garden 4th of July float and was the impetus and co-constructor of the Little Free Library in the garden.  Throughout the summer, Michael would bike over to the garden to work on building the library box.  He would show up many times on his own to help out on our community workdays.  He had a strong work ethic and commitment to the garden.  Michael and his family are moving to Ohio in December.  The garden sent him off with a cake.
Michael, the garden community wishes you well in your new home in Ohio.  We will greatly miss you!
