Some exciting news in The Broadmoor and Estudillo Estates

Some neat things are starting to happen in San Leandro's North Area.

1. "The Broadmoor" neighborhood association's email list server is all a buzz with the idea of becoming a solar community.  Today is April 11th 2008.  If this message is timely for you, and if you want more information please let me know and I will forward you the information. <update to go here about the planned community meeting>
2. "The Broadmoor" and Estudillo Estates are looking into the possibility of community vegetable gardens in the parking strips between the sidewalks and the curbs.
3. "The Broadmoor" will also be starting garden sharing.  This would be if your garden needs to have plants split, or you have too many bulbs. You share the clippings, cuttings, bulbs with your neighbors in an open exchange.

It's just so very appropriate that a garden program would take root in San Leandro.  As you can see from this old sales brochure for Glen, Oakes, Begier and Superior, San Leandro was "The Garden Section of the East Bay Communitues".  I'll have to post the companion images of this 1930s (1937-1941) brochure in a future blog.  I just thought that this one was so right for the current topic of the community gargens.
