For the Innovation Strategy & Roadmap assignment I created a fictional program at my local library in Fremont, CA that is a Community Garden/Checkout-a-Plot program.

Hi Laurel,
Great work on your innovation strategy. Gardening can be such a rewarding experience; I was lucky enough growing up to plant seeds and see them grow into corn, squash, beans, etc. The positive effects of these programs can be incredible, as they show that if you take care of a plant or tree, they will take care of you mentally and physically.
