The Camden neighborhood uses the app to give local updates about their community garden according head gardener there Martin Hutchison.

“I’m using it regularly to update people in the neighborhood about the garden,” Martin said. “Just this morning I sent out pictures of things that we’re ready and some things that we’ve changed in the garden and a long update with some how to’s, how you might harvest stuff.”
