A man who saw our post at the West Seattle Blog commented that he was involved in growing food on LFCG back when it was a fully functioning community garden.
Apparently LFCG was founded by Laura Love, a folk musician. See: http://www.lauralove.net/ for more about her and: http://westseattleblog.com/blog/?p=6699#comment-169991 for the comment in which "John" explains our GARLICKY hidden past.
