There's always news at the Carrabassett Valley Library Garden — a library reading-and-gardening day for kids, the arrival of the community fridge, food-outreach milestones. Keeping volunteers and neighbors in the loop used to mean scattered emails and social posts.
One shared, photo-friendly feed
The garden keeps a WeAllGarden garden journal: a public, photo-friendly feed the coordinators post to. Entries show up in a clean timeline anyone can follow, and it doubles as a record of the season.
Email the whole crew with one switch
With the optional email add-on, every journal post has a “email this to volunteers” switch. Flip it on when the news matters, and the post goes to the entire subscriber list — no separate newsletter tool, no copy-paste. Leave it off for routine notes.
Why it works
- ›One place for updates instead of scattered channels.
- ›Photos make the garden's story tangible for supporters and funders.
- ›The per-post email switch means volunteers hear the important stuff without inbox fatigue.
The journal is one of four WeAllGarden tools the garden runs — see their watering calendar, harvest tracker, and community fridge log.
