15. BEST PRACTICE Operate like a gardener, not a landscaper: “ The Gardener creates an ecosystem open to change, available to new groups, and full of fresh opportunities to emerge naturally. The approach is focused on organic collaboration and growth for the entire community. The gardener is simply there to help, cultivate, and clear the weeds if/when they poke up.” Connect at AmySampleWard.org
