Humorous Wedding Speech: Why She Happened In The Garden

Good morning Tara,

I wish I was writing under better circumstances but as a fourth year returning gardener to Sam Yanni, I am actually shocked and dismayed by what my Mother and Father reported occurred in the garden yesterday and to be frank what I see going on in the garden this season. I own a plot under Tabetha Wilson and my own address, as does my mother Daphne Wilson under HER OWN address. My Father was my original co-gardener in the back near John Parsons and we moved to the left no-till side with my three years ago. My mother then acquired the other half of our plot but my Father remained our mutual assistant. You may have noticed we spend extensive time and the garden and are quite vigilant when it comes to removing weeds, keeping

My original understanding of the rules was if it was disclosed to Capital Roots that you would have help from your family and as long as they came and went with you they were fine to be present in the garden. Which has always been the case.

Despite this, there is CONSISTENT confusion as to who's plot belongs to who each year I have returned and it seems to be an issue with TURNOVER and lot ABANDONMENT. But of course, we will experience these things if veteran, loyal, organized, and polite gardeners are chased away by bad experiences. If there is an overwhelming sense they are being pushed aside for incoming gardeners and displaced and will not be treated fairly during misunderstandings. There has been year after year suggestion to NUMBER the plots to avoid this confusion but there has yet to be any innovation in this

Martinez's plot that she was DISPLACED to after someone failed to realize her plot was still being worked (up until May) and already paid for. She had to be moved from our left side to our right side, to ease her pain of having to transition MY FAMILY (my mother, father and myself) helped dig up that plot and get it ready for her considering she lost a year worth of work. This was a gesture of kindness and an attempt to make right of a situation we did not create. This volunteer "garden manager" was in an uproar about this abandoned plot she was forced to take and he was questioning my parents (when there is a chart which identifies whom it belongs to), he went on to state people "call him" about the lots and what belongs to who - however, don't take a position you are going to complain about. If you don't have the demeanor, manners, mindset, temperament you should not take a customer service, public facing position because he was VERY rude and has been VERY rude and to be frank should not being doing the job.

This man who spoke to my father this was has some obsession with Ms. Martinez plot, well he is welcome to speak to Capital Roots not gardeners. I go to the garden with the sole intention to escape the harassment and haranguing I am subjected to on a daily basis, not to be insulted and alienated in a plot we all pay for. We all have our implicit biases but it is our responsibility to look past them and work on
