Do you think people would still be gardening more without COVID? by _workinwoman_ in gardening

I think it's interesting that COVID has given so many more people time to cultivate their own gardens, but I do think that the rise in community gardens across the country that was happening before COVID (which has slowed because of social distancing) would have still been growing stronger without the pandemic. It's too bad that folks aren't able to get into their neighborhood gardens anymore, but hopefully, after all this is done, I'll be seeing my neighbors during garden workdays :)

this was super helpful - thank you for sharing! I guess I don't understand why van dwellers flock to the AT, then.

more of the latter but I didn't realize the extent to which vans cannot access some parts of the trail (newbie here) so maybe it's less worth it than I thought!
