| HOVEY HOUSE SANS VIEW OF GARDEN |
The garden views on their site are from a bygone era (LINK). Before the locals hired a - are you ready? - a MASTER GARDENER CERTIFIED by that assembly line factory manufacturing institution our world now has for determining excellence. That is, it really creates a CERTIFICATE ensuring employment so those student loans can be paid off, - keeping the banksters happy - so that those who really know how to do the job are weeded out of the employment pool and are added to the roles of the unemployed.
SHELLEY is the CEO and MASTER GARDENER of this place who took over after the regular local volunteer who had done a magnificent job and in 1-2 years on the job SHE HAS DEMOLISHED what was once a great functioning producing garden for volunteers to work in and eat from. Now it seems she is planning to go elsewhere so she can do more damage.
WTF!
Now the food is carted in on Thursdays from commercial outlets who are dumping their expired or soon to be expired produce and getting a deduction for it. WHY? Because it is another one of those FAKE NON-PROFITS you will see all around SpringfieldMO and the rest of the US, accepting donations so the donators can feel Christian.
All that FOOD STEAMP money people used to get has been whoooooshed into FOOD PANTRIES to help us poor hungry people get food so we can eat. What do they give us?
GLUTEN
GMO
ALL USDA APPROVED OF COURSE
Gotta support Big Ag that is taking a beating from organic consumers.
Today there was nothing to eat from the garden except the chard I carefully watered and mulched last week which is strong and healthy and ready to eat. Shelly the Master gardener, told me she was mowing the entire garden down for the season. So my volunteer labor was for naught except to get me ahead in the line for free food. Does anyone think I will work again? This is what happens when the mentally challenged are in charge. Whatever is working well must be made gone.
I have to say that TRUMP is correct in wanting to tear down agencies that no longer function as anything but MASKS for what they were originally set up to do. People rise to their level of incompetence but people still bow down to these holders of FAUX certificates. Yes they are legit, but does anyone still believe they represent EXCELLENCE? I mean we have a CONGRESS and PRESIDENT who are buffoons, so we end up with the same mentality in our non-profits. And everywhere else we go. Yankee Ingenuity is no more.
RIP!
TAX money is siphoned off in GRANT MONEY to subsidize a bricks and mortar building that looks pretty in a photo. It ends up being simply a way for local businesses to avoid taxes by writing off produce they were going to be forced to shovel into the trash bin at a loss. There is no functioning Michelle Obama garden there and nothing to do unless you yourself are a MASTER GARDENER and already know. LOL!
NICE TRICK EH!
But then we live in a world where
IMAGE IS ALL.
Who are these people who hire or let volunteer idiots make decisions. I say idiots because the garden now at Hovey House looks like an idiot designed it. Your taxes are paying money for idiots to call themselves MASTER GARDENERS because they have a piece of paper.
Am I insane or is all this insane?
There's a VOTE coming up folks. DO SOMETHING!
Better get over there while you can and get fresh produce, - or almost fresh - for dinner tonight and the rest of the week. It is all commercially produced food, while the garden PRESENTS a MASK concealing the REALITY that there is nothing to eat there and any volunteer labor would be just walking around and getting ticks and fleas on your jeans. No one seems to know what a real garden looks like as they got furious at me today for telling them and told me not to come back anymore.
YOU KNOW love America or leave it. Let's have no disagreements, no alternative suggestions, just the same-old same-old that doesn't work.
First of all Shelley is the reason we even have a garden. She one was one the original founders of Springfield Community Gardens. She has done a wonderful job with it over the years. Second, the "vote" coming up has nothing to do with the Garden. Third, you were extremely rude and hateful yesterday; I was there and heard every word. Because of your behavior you were asked to leave and not come back. Apparently we are not the first group you have done this with from the comments we have received about you. I will pray for you to become a nicer person.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, there are NO tax dollars involved in the Garden or at Hovey House. Get your facts straight before you post incorrect information.
ReplyDeleteYou get GRANT money - that's tax $$$. Tax dollars take care of the house, the utilities, supplies, etc. Did you think all that fell from the sky? Seems like you are in the know on the gossip chain. I have found almost ALL of the food pantries deficient to say the least.
DeleteHello there please let’s get all the facts straight I was the one who asked you to leave I never told you not to come back but told you that I was having complaints from other shoppers that about your behavior calling others names and bazaar behavior in and around the garden you called Shelley an idiot and said anyone working in the garden was an idiot which caused many people who worked in and out of the garden to take offense you also ran around telling people what they could and could not do walking in our produce distribution area before your name was called etc. due to disruptive behavior I asked you to leave but yet we allowed you to receive fresh produce first as we turn no one away but you were never and I say never told not to come back but that the next time you did come back that the disruption would not be tolerated thank you and these are the facts.

ReplyDeleteI think you cannot differentiate from facts and opinions. Never mind our last few presidents and their competition couldn't either so I guess you are in goo9d company.
DeleteSorry for the typo.
DeleteYou will get views for this blog and I want to be clear, it's because we all love and support everything you attacked with your hateful, grammatically atrocious words. I'll count myself lucky that I've never met you in person. I'll continue to work hard to keep it that way.

Good. The more views the better.Thank you.
DeleteNow this group professing its love has split. The garden project will now be at Fairbanks on Broadway so have fun folks. They don't know much there either. The Hovey community House where ladies knit - do they do puzzles there also? - will continue with tax money I guess and the garden will go to someone who knows how to garden and had once upon a trice had it looking so wonderful a few years back until children got their hands in it without supervision or wanting to learn. What a missed opportunity. Well looks like Richard will be back. You had better hope so. I will help him anywhere he goes. I love to pick brains that know so much more than I do. Not a threat at all.
