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.
