The first Garden meeting was a success! We had an intimate crowd that met in an eclectic and inviting meeting room in the back of Cafe 407. An extra hot, skim, spiced Chai may also have made an appearance making my night complete. Here is an outline of what was discussed at the meeting for those who were unable to attend!
