Launched my new side project today, Oakland Garden Club. I'm excited about the response to the vision.

OGC is about plants as plants, but also plants as portals to radically different ways of being alive, global histories, and human cultures.

@alexismadrigal quite a lot of things make me wish I lived in Oakland but that just adds to the list.

@geographile Oakland Garden Club is open to all! You should keep your eye on it. There will be events and I believe you're in the East East Bay right?

@alexismadrigal I think I signed on with your newsletter when it was the original 5 Things and have stayed since. I really enjoyed the first issue of OGC.

I also love the smell of tomato leaves.
